Nice video, and clear explanations of each step of your gear configuration. Thank you for sharing! My only difference, is that I route/stow my excess long hose on a couple of bungees around my back-mounted, right-most cylinder. It keeps the excess tidy and I can still primary donate (the hose pulls out of the bungees without much resistance at all). Great video, thank you again! 🇮🇲
I have it set up pretty much the same way, except I have a small folding knife on my right shoulder D-ring under a bungee strap, and my backup light on my left shoulder D-ring under a bungee strap. Everything else is the same.
Great video series! I run into a little awkward situation at 11:45 minutes in. I have a neck seal ring system in my suit. My shoulder straps tend to slide sideways into my armpits and locking my arms. The backplate is then too low on my back as well. (Shoulder straps are a bit tighter then yours to begin with btw.) Any advice on how to solve this? Thnx!!
Do you mean slide off you chest towards you armpits? Or down your shoulders? If they slide from the center of your chest towards your armpit, is usually a case of the harness beeing to tight. Try loosing it up and moving the d-rings up a bit. If they move down your shoulders. Remember the stability should come from the waist strap together with the crotch strap. Take a look at the video called How to reach your valves on a DIR twinset on this channel. There are tips there that might help as well. Or send me a picture at ben@utdscubadiving.com
Why not place the ezy-cut tool on your compass/computer wrist strap? Having the battery canister up against the plate doesn't allow for a right hip D-ring. You can save your bolt snap by adding a key-ring to the light head. This enables the light beam to angle down when you are task loading. Why not throw the doubles over your head while partly submerged?
Great lots of questions, where to start:-) You could definitely put an eezycut on your compass or bottom timer. But we do advise also having one that is reachable with either hand. We don't need a right hip D-ring. In back mount diving, in side-mount the canister is placed behind the right hip D-ring. Look for the video on how to rig your light head on this channel. There you can see how we use a double ender and a piece of bungee to keep things nice and tidy. With only one double ender. Throwing heavy cylinders over your head?? 🤔 be my guest sir. Not me thanks.
@@UTD_ScubaDiving ua-cam.com/video/4wez3ChQQMc/v-deo.html The above link shows you how. Your method is ok for putting on the backplate but in seas with waves you may struggle. And I noticed you didn't have the reg in your mouth. All lose ends can be passed up to the boat before removing.
Thanks for your detailed explanation, and for walking us through the process of removing the harness while in the water! Great video!
You are welcome!

Our pleasure!
Some great little tips!

Great stuff Ben. Did you ever try releasing the left arm before opening the waist buckle?
As always more than professional thank you a lot
