 Women's-Specific BCD   
Maybe you’ve checked out women’s-specific BC’s before at your local shop but never really got what the hype was about. Sure they have different graphics and size ranges, but what is the real advantage of a women’s-specific BC?
The Wahine is built from the ground up for women – designed specifically around the female form with ample adjustments that deliver individual comfort for women of all sizes.  All without sacrificing the features and functionality that the most discriminating divers demand.
You Asked For It
More than 300 female divers, instructors and AERIS 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 packs 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 ask for it - AERIS delivers.
Patented Custom Fit Harness
AERIS' patented Custom Fit Harness is standard equipment on the Wahine. With multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund, the Wahine delivers individual comfort for women of all shapes and sizes.
Hybrid Bladder Design
The innovative design of the Wahine 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
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.
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 Silverjack BC Knife attachment points and integrated retractor sleeve - perfect for streamlining gauges, lights and other essentials.

Ergonomically Designed Integrated Inflator
Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the 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
AERIS' patented depth compensating cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material that eliminates the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. AERIS’ cummerbund offers simple adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may also be easily exchanged 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 it's easy to get into. For fast and easy access to accessory items like signaling devices, reels or a spare mask
Optional AIR LINK Alternate Inflator
The AIR LINK combines the OCTOPUS and 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 LINK may be added to any existing AERIS BC or may be purchased already installed on a new AERIS Wahine for additional savings
