You Asked
For It
In developing the Oceanic Hera BC more than 300 female divers, instructors and Oceanic Dealers participated in a
detailed survey to help develop the ultimate women's-specific BC design. Time
and time again, we heard what is lacking in today's BCs designed for women - you're
looking for a BC designed to fit you; not a scaled down male BC. You're looking
for a BC that's comfortable, contoured in all the right places, but one that doesn't
sacrifice features or functionality. You want a BC that's travel-friendly, yet
rugged enough and packing the lift capacity required for daily local diving. And
finally, you're looking for something with a little style - preferably not just
big swatches of pink or purple material. You asked for it - Oceanic delivers.
Patented
Custom Fit Harness
Oceanic's patented Custom Fit Harness is standard equipment on the Hera BC. With
multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund, the Oceanic Hera BC delivers individual
comfort for women of all shapes and sizes.
Hybrid
Bladder Design
The innovative design of the Oceanic Hera BC allows the freedom of movement and other benefits
you have come to expect from a rear-inflation BC. However, the unique wrap-around
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
QLR (Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System
Angled down slightly to aid self-loading, Oceanic's patented QLR Quick Lock
& Release System keeps up to 20 lbs. of releasable weight in position and
stabile throughout the dive. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy
to release when you want to. Best of all, our 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 new "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 on the Oceanic Hera BC are 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 attitude
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 on the Oceanic Hera BC 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!
Optional
Air XS 2 Alternate Inflator
The new AIR XS combines the reliability, performance and durability of the SlimLine
OCTOPUS and ALLIANCE INFLATOR into one very low profile, streamlined package.
The regulator/inflator combination is as small as many BC inflators alone, with
breathing performance superior to many stand-alone octopus regulators.
The AIR
XS can be added to any your Oceanic Hera BC or may be purchased already installed
on a new Oceanic BC for additional savings. |
