I'm looking at buying an Athena BC but would like to hear from someone who has owned one. I've had a hard time finding a BC to fit me because of small upper body frame ( have to have XS). I used a Mares vector, but it would come off my shoulders during the dive and other Mares have caused the tank to bang me in the head. Please help......

Haven't owned an Athena, not my type :), but I can tell you you'll probably have a hard time finding a jacket BC that fits you well. My wife is also small framed and she had alot of trouble finding one. She ended up going with a Seaquest Diva LX (XS), but it is taken all the way up and it's still a tad big on her shoulders. If you're not dead set on on a jacket BC, have a look at some of the more adjustable back-inflation BCs like the Zeagle Concept & Ranger (they also just released a women specific model; the Zena) and Dive Rite Transpac II. For ultimate adjustability, you might also look into a traditional backplate/wing/harness setup.
