Hi SB-ers,
I have an idea in development for a tank harness that would eliminate tank slippage, the need for super tight straps (and over-developed biceps necessary to tighten said strap!), and the need to get your tank strap wet before attaching the BC to the tank. The harness is easy to attach and ensures the tank will never slip from the BC.
The idea came about as I was teaching classes, and noticed that I was tightening a lot of tank straps on second dives, since many came loose while walking to and from the water or while on the dive.
I am curious for feedback from the SB community regarding a couple of issues:
1. Would you use something like this yourself or -- if you are an instructor -- for your students in your classes?
2. What would you be willing to pay for it?
I appreciate all sincere replies. Sarcastic replies will be chuckled at.
