The shorter torso on the women's model allows the waistband to sit correctly; the contoured shoulder straps eliminate chest and shoulder pressure; and the whole harness molds naturally to the body.
I found the Cressi MC9 very comparable to my Apeks XL4+.

No matter which you choose, you’ll be happy with your Shearwater.
Long coastlines make for great diving and plenty of adventures on the water.

Meet the founders

Torben Nicolai Loenne Divein

In 2009, while diving in Bali, the two brothers Torben and Nicolai Lonne launched the first version of DIVEIN (named DIVE.in back then).

With an ambition to become the best online Scuba resource, they quickly started to recruit experts and experienced scuba instructors.

Over the years, more people joined the team and the combined experience and knowledge grew to also span watersport, hiking, outdoor life, boating and many similar activities.

This has turned DIVEIN into a huge collection of reviews and guides – all written by people with a passion for the activity!
