I did four dives in my first hog harness yesterday, while also doing my first four dry suit dives. The harness was rock solid in the water, but when it came time to take it off, both in the water (at the surface) for a drill, and out of the water (at a table), I found it rather difficult to get off. I'm hoping to get some tips about getting out of the harness, particularly while in the water (both underneath and at the surface). My biggest problem was getting the left strap over the dry suit exhaust valve. The best I came up with was to lower the stap off my left shoulder to the exhaust valve, then working the stap off of my right shoulder (just a bit), then reaching back and grabbing the tank from the bottom, and attempting to push it up to provide enough slack to get the strap over the exhaust valve. It eventually worked, but it wasn't pretty or fun. Thanks for any suggestions!
