SO did I, but it can be done. You just need some needle nosed plier, a lot of free time, and a penchant for cursing at your gear.
Oh, SO true.
Which I why I have Halcyon webbing, turned inside out so the blasted blue H's don't show (much).

What's wrong with the pretty blue H's??TSandM:Oh, SO true.

It probably would have been less effort to take a black permanent marker to the H's instead of turning the webbing inside outTSandM:I get enough grief about my religious preferences as it is!
Sunfire85:OK, after spending much of the weekend looking around the net for scuba deals and not doing any homework, I've settled on some gear. I am going to go with a HammerHead SS plate, an Oxycheq wing 70# from GolemGear and Halcyon harness. All said, the total will be $423 plus shipping for everything. Now, I don't want to start off a DIR debate since I've read too many of those on here but I've seen a complete Explorer MC System on wreck diver supply for $525 that coming also with a 70# wing. So as I sit here $423 v.s. $525.... My dive instructor told me that Halcyon gear was great quality gear but a little pricey. Now I don't consider myself a DIR diver. I agree with other people on here about learning as much as you can, adapting to new methods, and doing what works for you. Yeah some of the DIR setup and points I agree with I will use but the point is I am not a pure DIR diver so I have no desire to just purchase the Explorer System since it's DIR approved. So, that being said does anyone have a good reason that I should purchase the complete Explorer MC System v.s. buying everything individually and saving the $100???
