I am starting to dive BPW and, among other things, I want to go the Hogarthian continuous webbing route. I was somewhat bemused to discover that harnesses in South Africa retail in the US$200 range.
If I was to buy high-quality scuba webbing, good solid d-rings with retainers and the appropriate buckle it would cost me about US$80. Is there some kind of catch that I am missing to simply assemble it myself and thread it to a BP? Is there anything I should be concerned about or issues that would make the DIY approach sub-optimal?
