School days, school days, dear old golden rule days.
Reading and writing and arithmetic.
Taught to the the tune of a hickory stick.
You were my queen in calico.
I was your bashful barefoot beau.
And you wrote on my slate, I love you Joe.
When we were a couple of kids.
Oh. My. Goodness. I’m sorry. I guess I just had to put that out there since this seems to be the week when a lot of students are hitting the books again. Maybe quite literally if they are already frustrated. I don’t know.
How can we tie that in with a SCUBA blog? Oh you just wait. These students are getting their education while I’m here to educate you about dive equipment. Bam! I even surprise myself some days. Today’s SCUBA gear is……… wait for it… wait for it…
The Bella BC
This is an exclusive BC built just for women divers.
This particular BC is designed with women in mind. They built this BC so that women could have the ease and comfort of a BC that is specifically tailored for a comfortable fit. This is a front-adjustable BC that perfectly contours the woman’s figure. This BC features an exclusive SCUBAPRO wraparound bladder which helps to preserve that cradle-like shape even when fully inflated.
With the design of the front air bladder, lift is primarily under your arms and around your waist. This makes the Bella BC well-balanced so rear trim weights aren’t necessary to achieve a comfortable swimming position.
Features of the Bella:
- Strategically placed padding
- Adjustable cummerbund
- Quick-release rotating shoulder buckles
- A sternum strap
- A contoured hard pack and single-band Super tank cinch
- Quick-release weight system with easy buck squeeze and pull for quick ditch
- Two-large zippered cargo pockets
- Grommets for attaching a knife
- Small zippered storage pouch on cummerbund
- Four large pre-bent stainless steel D-rings
- Two smaller stainless D-rings all for attaching other gear (such as flashlights, etc)
These features work together to deliver that comfortable, dialed-in fit you crave.
