Waist size in Women's waist size is always measured just above the pelvic bone. This same measurement applies for BC fitting.
Over The Shoulder (OTS) measurement is taken by placing the measuring tape across either the right or left shoulder and reading the distance between the top of the waist line on the back to the top of the waist line in the front. Again, for this measurement in men the waistline is taken to be at the height of the belly button. When fitting the customer in his/her respective waist size and OTS range, inquire what thickness of wetsuit the BC is most likely to be worn with. Calculate about a 2” allowance for the waist measurements for thick, cold water suits.

The Lotus is a back inflation style BC designed specifically for women and incorporates Aqua Lung’s integrated Wrapture™ Harness System. With the Lotus, the Wrapture™ Harness System hugs the contours of the female body with specially curved shoulder straps and side lobes that provide better fit. Integrated weights are held securely in place with the SureLock II™ mechanical weight system.
- Wrapture™ Harness System – using patented swivel shoulder buckles and a proprietary, ultra-thin back plate, the Wrapture prevents the BC from “riding-up” on the surface. Out of the water, the Wrapture keeps the cylinder close to your center of gravity and transfers the weight to your hips allowing you to effortlessly stand up straight
- SureLock IITM Mechanical Weight Release System (patented) – allows you to easily insert the weight pouch and an audible “click” lets you know the weights are secure in the BC. Once engaged, the weights can be released with a firm pull the handle
- HP hose routings through the back keep your entire kit low profile thus minimizing drag
- The low profile flat valves reduce drag when moving through the water
- A bladder retraction system is used to pull in the sides of the bladder during deflation. This keeps unit streamlined and reduces drag
- Adjustable, removable chest strap for personal comfort
- A clever octo-pocket on the right lobe secures the octopus while keeping it accessible and visible throughout the dive
- Two large, easy-to-access utility pockets are found on either side of the Lotus
- Easy-to-access knife attachment points on the left lobe accommodate many of the Aqua Lung knives
- Features 4 stainless steel D-rings and 4 plastic D-rings (1 is located inside the left pocket) for all of your accessories
- Right shoulder pull dump provides an additional dumping option
- Rolled neoprene neck collar for comfort
- Non-ditchable weight pockets on the back of the BC help the diver achieve proper positioning in the water
- All sizes are capable of holding up to 30 lbs / 13.5 kg of lead weight
The Octo pocket removes the need for any external octopus holders, this means an additional D-ring freed up for more uses!!
No more pinched fingers while attaching your tank with the GripLock tank band!!
SureLock II weights system removes the hassle of having to put on a weight belt
