Aqualung Pearl Women’s BCD
The Pearl is a wrap-around jacket style BC specifically designed for the female diver. It offers an adjustable waistband and specially curved shoulder straps that provide a customizable and comfortable fit.
A unique, hybrid jacket ADV-style air cell combines a back inflation wing with a wrap-around jacket. The benefit is increased lift in a small package as well as stability throughout the dive. Sleeker, low profile lobes with scalloped lower edges to rise above the hips. The flat valves reduce drag and keep the BC streamlined. The SureLock II weight pockets align themselves.
