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 .
