This an extremely basic question, but I feel I'm doing something wrong.
I just bought a new backplate/wing setup and loving the dives. When I went diving yesterday, first dives went great. Loved it. Tank straps were nice and tight, no problem.
Loosened them during the tank change, and during the second dive the tank fell off. I was able to hold it in place until I found a sandy spot to kneel down, take my BC off and reattach the tanks. While it was a relatively minor inconvenience, I don't want it to happen again.
The straps were only a fraction as tight as they were on the first dive, but nothing I'm doing seems to be able to get them tight again so I have to be missing something extremely basic. I've tried pulling them tight both dry and wet (and literally underwater) to no avail.
Am I missing something? I think the threading is right, but I took a video of me trying to tighten to demonstrate the problem:
I think I need to thread another 6 inches or so to get it properly tight, and I can barely budge it a millimetre.
What am I doing wrong?
