Minimal diving harness

[АлександрД]

it is not TRUE monkey (and not so safe as with dpv)
Yea, agree, may be also possible to call my offer as Monkey diving, also it takes by pieces from many others ideas

 

[lowviz]

it is not TRUE monkey ...//...

I won't argue your point as that would be off-topic.

Maybe someone should start a thread asking for the one true definition of monkey diving? Might be fun...

Interesting

I had to copy and paste your nickname... I have no Cyrillc fonts in my keyboard
Anyway, very nice, I like your DIY projects

Check out Andrew Goring's facebook page, Sump UK. He makes lots of cool parts, but he's got a particularly slick little minimal rig that looks like it's a blast to dive.

no problem. But I read about some responses in some news about football championship - most difficult for foreighn tourists was Russian language
they told about cyrillic - "it is crazy" or like this
But АлександрД is very simple just AlexanderD

I can read Greek alphabet and indeed there are similarities
Your "р" letter must be like the Greek "ῥ" [rho] letter
By the way congratulations for the championship, Russia did well even though they didn't win the championship and the organization was very nice, I watched the ceremony before the final match

Greek and Russia alphabet don't have anything common.
But Serbian and Russia alphabet is similar because they are both Slavic languages.
I just guess russian letters because of former roots with Yugoslavia but language is also close to us ( Slovenia )

greetings from another Aleksander -Sandi

questions?

No questions, just thanks for posting. I always find it cool when people make their own gear. Just a thought, being you wear your bladder below your body now, have you ever thought of trying a snorkel vest as a BC?

The mass buying was smart, several years ago people on the cave diving forum did something similar for the sidemount plates. Maybe you can get them cut out of titanium for light weight and no corrosion.

 

[АлександрД]

before final version of my simple harness I`d tested this with plates. Also I had thick aluminium plates - it is strong enough and lightweight.
Titan buckles should be nice, but unnecessary - sewed type is more simple, cheap and strong (just non adjustable, but I made it for MY personal usage )

What do you mean under "snorkel west"?
Is it Fenzy style compensator? (collar)
I`d used ours ASZh-63. It could be used, but as final accessible tool. It was most uncomfortable. Most worst thing - air is collecting in the upper part of collar, behind your neck. It is bad for body stabilization in the water (so called trim), also bad for streamlining, and bad for comfort - it is trying to squize your neck.

 

[ams511]

Basically, that is what I was suggesting, except a snorkel vest is smaller and lighter weight. I played around with horse collar BCs, when I was trying to find a easy way to change tanks while kayak diving.

I am not sure if you seen this.
