BC for a tiny woman

[lostinspace]

As a 50kg woman that often buys children's clothes, I love my SeaQuest Diva LX, and I take the size S (small), even though they also do a size XS (extra small).
Do a google for it - you'll find rave reviews. Here's a good website description of the BCD specs:

My petite wife also loves her Dive Rite TransPac II, in XS size.

I'm pretty small myself, 5'3 and 110 lbs. and the Dive Rite TransPac fit me very well. I've tried using the XS harness with a travel air cell and I find the fit is really good, the lift is just right and the BC itself is pretty light.

You could get your daughter to try on the Transpac and see if it fits alright.

Thanks all for the great replies. Will see if we can't let her try a couple different ones and see what she likes...again thank you for all the great advise...

You might also try the Scubapro Lady Hawk. My 10 year old daughter uses one, and of all the BC's we tried, that one was the best fit.

take a look at the oceanic isla and maybe even the scuba pro mira

Hello all,
I have a question I am getting my daughter her OW cert next month and want some help in choosing a BC for her. she is very tiny 5' 0" and a size 1, any other tiny women out there that can recomend a BC for her. I dive a Genesis Recon and I love it but that is way too much for a little one. Looking for something compact and light she will probally be diving a 40cf tank. Thanks for any help anyone can give...

Hi Toolbox,

I'm 5'1" and I'm looking at a Sherwood Luna. I tried it on and what I liked is that the backplate is small, so there's no plastic to bump against the nape of my neck. As well, it has two tank straps, so I can attach the tanks quite low and avoid having the the reg valve bump into the back of my head. It was XS and it fit snuggly - quite comfortable. Hope this helps.
