The premier global operational and training BC just got better with the introduction of Aqualungs latest advancement in fade and abrasion resistant material - ResisteK. With a sweet new look and Aqualung's continued focus on meeting the daily demands of operational users, the new Wave will continue to be the BC of choice in the world's most demanding dive lockers for years to come. The new Wave is even more rugged because it's now constructed with Aqualung's advanced fade-resistant ResisteK material for improved durability. The Wave is a robust, entry level, wrap-around jacket style BC that is rugged, sharp and ready for every adventure.
A proprietary backpack has a built-in carrying handle for easy transport. The waistband is adjustable in the back to accommodate a wide range of waist sizes. A scooped octo-pocket on the top front of the right lobe and a new octo-sleeve on the right shoulder strap provide two options to stow and deploy an octopus. In either location, the octopus remains visible and accessible throughout the dive. A scooped instrument pocket (or octo-pocket) is also on the top front of left lobe, giving versatility of use. A large, easy-to-access utility pocket is found on each side of the Wave. BCD features 2 stainless steel flat D-rings for all your accessories. Right shoulder pull-dump flat valve with highly visible orange pull bob is easy to locate and use. Lower rear dump flat valve with highly visible orange pull bob is useful for horizontal or head down orientation. The flat valves reduce drag and keep the BC streamlined. Adjustable chest strap for personal comfort.
The Wave BCD comes equipped with Aqualungs Power Line Inflator with an increased fill rate which is now, one of the highest air flows in the industry. The Power Line is an environmentally sealed unit for less maintenance, has integrated hose clips for attachment to the LP hose for a streamline and low profile. The inflator is equipped with a cable activated rapid exhaust at the top, simply pull down on lower unit to dump air. The Wave provides from 18 to 55 lbs (8.2 to 25kg) of lift, comes with a low pressure 3/8" threaded hose, and an owner's manual. The BCD comes in multiple sizes.
