According to Oceanic, the HERA BCD is not a man's BCD that's been scaled down. Rather, the HERA is designed and contoured specifically for the female body. Created with assistance from more than 300 female scuba divers, the HERA features a special hybrid bladder that combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket-style BCs. Moreover, the BC boasts a custom-fit harness with a multi-position shoulder strap, an integrated weight system, reinforced shoulders, a padded back pack, and an adjustable position sternum strap. Get yours for $479.Question: if women designed the BC, why is it boring blue-and-black? Did the men take over when it came time to choose the color coordination?
