My wife and I are new to diving and she is a small woman 5'0" tall and weighs 95lbs on a good day. Anyway, finding a B.C. that would fit her was tough. This Tusa Tina was just the ticket. She loves it and cant wait to hit open water with it, Once again, A fine product!

Love the fit and weight of this BC. Comfortable and performs well. Weight pockets release a bit to easily, 1 feel out at end of 2nd dive - fortunately dive master grabbed it.

This is a great BCD for women who have a bit more curve as the cut is contoured to skim the hips. The straps are also placed further back than a man's BCD, meaning that they sit on the shoulder curving away from the bust as opposed to going straight down. If you have a curvy profile, no matter your size, you may find this more comfortable. I compared this with the men's (unisex lol) Liberator and the difference was quite stark. The sizing is generous. I am a US size 16-18 and 5'5" tall, and I fit comfortably into a medium (to my surprise). The back has a convenient handle shape for easy carrying and there are several D rings for attaching equipment, something that some women's BCD's are sometimes stingy with. Overall, great BCD and I would recommend it.

I like my BC but, have hadc3 incidents now, only at 54 dives that the weight bags release.Yesterday, at 84 feet in gulf, I started asending quickly toward end of dive ... luckily was able to get to safety line to hang on.I always give a light tug to make sure they are secured but they just release.Big problem!!!

Diver profile: F, 5'10", 36DD, athletic build (size 12), dive 4x/week on average in Caribbean for recreation and coral science.Good, comfortable fit with lots of customizable adjustments and D rings. Key benefit is underwater mobility - you can twist, turn, be upsidedown, in caves and never feel like it is trying to "correct your form" as backplate/wing/hybrid styles often do. It allows very natural bouancy with minimal adjustments, even on dives with spikey profiles. Only complaint is with the pockets. The dual sided zippers were a major selling point, but they are difficult to get into and tight. It is difficult, for example, to use the pockets for something the size of a rolled up SMB. I ended up having to get add-on dive pockets, which is disappointing if you do not like external hanging accessories. Overall, I tried several unisex and woman-specific styles and this is currently the best on the market for my build and diving style.

My husband bought this for me because I've started the scuba diving certification. The regular BCD was too loose on me and this one fit perfectly fine. The size was weird, we ordered XS, but the label says it is S/M (I guess it depends on a country). It has 3 quick release valves (shoulder, bottom and the one on left shoulder - you pull the hose), it has 2 quick release pockets (for weights), zipped pockets for stuff and it was easy to use for my last dives (from the shore and from the boat), it was easy to take it off in the water and put back on. And it fit comfortably on me. Loved the fact that it is pink. My instructor says it's a good one for long-lasting use and should work well for me. That was nice to hear since I did NOT bought it from his store. 😬☺️

I bought this for my wife and she loves it. It is built for a woman’s body instead of one size fits all.
