Threading BP-tips from a newb to newbs

[DivingCRNA]

UGH!

I finally got it. Except I had to order some webbing for the crotch strap. I was stupid and started with equal lengths of strap on each side and made the burn hole right away. Don't do this. Start with one side long and adjust things around if you have to- this saves strap for the crotch. BTW-I was using the Hammerhead hogarthian harness kit. It sends plenty of webbing if you are smart about it (or at least more experienced.

There is enough webbing for a crotch strap, but it is in two peices! DOH! Also, I thought I had 2 extra D rings until I looked up how to make the crotch strap.

I would recommend the hammerhead II plate and harness (hogarthian). I did not have to debur anything. Just be smarter than me.

The ordering from Diver Rite Express wasn't too bad because I needed bungie to make an octo necklace and ordered surgical tubing for the save a dive uses.

Now I need my wing to come in so I can put that on.

Go here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/chatterton/index.html To see good explainations on how to do this set-up.

Happy diving!

Dude,

Your site rocks for help setting up a "tech" setup. I will be making a backup regulator necklace like yours too.

Thanks a ton,

Don
