Looks great! Have you sourced your wings yet? And your pull rod (if you won't be running a SPG)?

Another suggestion (besides crossing your harness straps behind your head): Run you shoulder straps to the inside waist slot. Doing this should provide a bit more stability and will allow the waist strap to hold the shoulder straps in place and tighter to your torso.

Also, I can't tell from the photo, but are you running a crotch strap? If you'll be diving a BC/wing, then unless you run your shoulder straps pretty tight (and use a shoulder release), you will need a crotch strap, almost certainly.

Can't wait to read your dive report.

I haven’t gotten a doubles wing yet and it might be a while as I’m losing my job of 23 years on June 30th. I do run an SPG with this reg setup. It on a banjo fitting. I didn’t have it in the picture and didn’t realize until after I took the pictures. I was looking at the straps today and am planning on rerouting them. I appreciate the suggestions. I can’t wait to give a dive report.

Unfortunately I have to work that day. I appreciate the invite. If I can get off work I would definitely come. Is this a public or private quarry?
