H harness

[The Chairman]

I recently dove with Edd Sorensen out of Cave Adventures in Marianna Florida. It was an awesome dive in Jackson Blue. I think we went about 1500 back? It might have been less, but I enjoyed the hell out of it... except my harness. I'm diving a normal BP&Wing with the traditional continuous Hogarthian webbing. Edd was diving an "H" configuration which looked far more comfortable than what I was diving. I looked on his website for that funky T looking piece of hardware; Cave Adventurers - D-Rings, Keepers, and Buckles - Marianna, Florida USA - Never Undersold! but I couldn't find it there. Anyone know where I can source these from? I checked out DRIS, ScubaToys as well as others. Anyone got a clue?

I think HOG has the harnesses. @Jim Lapenta was part of the development team,.

The "T" hardware is something that Hollis came up with. Lately I have gotten a number of messages looking for similar hardware. Possibly because I am hearing lots of complaints from divers whose shops have not been able to get parts from Oceanic/Hollis.

The stuff I make is actually more of a rectangular plate as opposed to a T. At some point HOG/Edge may sell just the plate but until then I make them and actually can make just about any style someone wants. 1/8 stainless or something a little thinner like .080 or .063. I use all three on my harnesses and have a couple on hand. I am going to start cutting more next week once I get my water jet freed up at work. I make these as well as the custom tri glides that you can also get from HOG when I can. Main difference is the tri glides from HOG are one style. I actually have 4 variations of them based on need. Double loop, single loop with flat opening for chest strap, Single loop with end holes for octo holder and bungee for lp hose ,and a small double loop version.

I can make the variation on the "T" plate in a number of sizes and styles with different numbers of openings. However due to having to wait on machine openings it can take up to 3 weeks for me to get them cut. If asked at the right time it can take as little as a couple days. Based also on material availability. I'm supposed to be getting some titanium plate as well but no idea when that will show up.

Andrew Goering at SumpUK on facebook also makes some really cool hardware. He and I do some of the same items but he has a much wider selection since it's actually his business. I buy a really cool buckle from him.

OK, the Deco site had what I wanted. It's coming to about $20/piece including shipping. I'll see if/how I like them. Thanks!!!

Any pics of a set up harness?
