Aqua Lung USA has announced that it will be making a cash donation to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research based upon the success of its new ladies BC, the Pearl i3, which hits stores this month.

As the female version of Aqua Lung's popular Sea Quest Pro QD i3 BC, the Pearl i3 has a hybrid air cell that integrates a single touch control for fast and easy inflation and deflation. It combines a jacket with a back inflation unit that surrounds the backpack, and sleek and low profile front lobes. The resulting fit is said to be both more flattering and more comfortable, and allows for a better range of motion. The units come in sizes XS-L and three colours, and feature an adjustable waistband that lets divers change the waist size up to six inches and a wide adjusting shoulder strap that allows them to find the best fit for their body.

Aqua Lung will be making a cash donation to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research based upon the success of the Pearl i3. The more Pearl i3’s that are sold (all 3 colours), the larger the donation will be. Aqua Lung has pledged that a minimum donation of $2,500, but the final amount is anticipated to be higher, in the $4,000 to $5,000 range. For more information, log onto www.aqualung.com .
