Dont the non backpack types tend to let the tank flop around on your back? They look pretty cool, but I would think they would feel less secure. I may have to get me one of these here harnesses - after the banjos, after the Phoenix, after the retaining ring of course... I NEED MORE MONEY!

We did get off topic on the safety rock. But seeing as how you asked the question. The harnesses, when properly adjusted, place the regulator where it should be, right between the shoulder blades. Also, with the chest strap and crouch strap in place, there is little, if any sideways movement. Lastly, nobody wanted to say anything about the avitar, but you are probably right about a double hose. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just thought he had hubcapinthefaceitus, a dreadfull disease, outcome often poor, only intense re-education can hope to cure the infected. Bad thing, it is contagious and in mass displays as PadIitus, almost always incurable. We can only hope for the best.

Rob and the bucket, that is pretty good, rocks and buckets :shock:

Last time we were at Table Rock I found a nice shallow cove with clear water, I put my wife in one Simmonbeans Harness and I wore the other, they are USD blue. She enjoyed the dive. She is a geologist also so you can be sure she collected several "safety" rocks. When we move from here I shalll need hire a truck just for rocks.

Forgive me my stupid scuba equipment still lifes but it is better than fruit :shock: .
