The newly re-styled Hera BC from Oceanic is built from the ground up for the ladies and comes standard with all the features and durability required of a high-end BC. The design also incorporates our Patented Adjustable Positioning System, rugged yet lightweight materials, plenty of storage, and 30 lb of integrated weights into what may be the most comfortable, best fitting women’s BC ever. Designed specifically for women divers Patented Adjustable Positioning System (A.P.S.) Track Adjustable depth-compensating cummerbund Pre-bent welded stainless steel D-rings Reinforced contoured shoulders QuickLock® Release 4 (QLR4) Integrated Weight System 20 lb plus dual 5 lb rear WARNING! This product can expose you to Butadiene, which is known to the state of California to cause cancer. Patented Custom Fit Harness Oceanic’s patented Custom Fit Harness is standard equipment on the Hera. With multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund, the Hera delivers individual comfort for women of all shapes and sizes. Hybrid Bladder Design The innovative design of the Hera allows the freedom of movement and other benefits you have come to expect from a rear-inflation BC. However, the unique wraparound design of the air cell provides you more lift than most BC’s; as well as an improved, upright orientation when the BC is inflated on the surface. Patented QuickLock® Release 4 (QLR4) Weight Integration System Angled down slightly to aid self-loading, Oceanic’s patented QLR4 Quick Lock & Release System keeps up to 20 lbs. of releasable weight in position and stable throughout the dive. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release when you want to. Best of all, the patented positive-lock system helps to ensure that they’ll stay put. Rear Weight Pockets Located on the back of the BC on either side of the cylinder band. Provides greater integrated weight capacity and better attitude underwater. Carries up to 10 non-dumpable pounds. Fadeless 1000 Denier Cordura® Construction Exterior abrasion points are covered in our “Fadeless” 1000-denier Cordura – tough stuff that will hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that new look longer. Optional Integrated Retractor / BC Knife System Built-in retractor and Spinner BC Knife attachment points – perfect for streamlining gauges, lights and other essentials. Reliant Integrated Inflator Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the Reliant Integrated Inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive altitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, improving diver control during ascents. Patented Depth-Compensating Adjustable Cummerbund Oceanic’s patented depth compensating cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material that eliminates the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. Oceanic’s cummerbund offers up to 8″ of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may be easily changed with another size. Padded Backpack and Additional Lumbar Support Extra heavy-duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack. Large Main Zippered Pockets Zippered so they’re easy to get into. Enough room to store your Light, extra Shadow Mask, Pocket Snorkel, and more!
