    Transplate Harness update

    I finally had a chance to get out and dive with my new rig today. Two dives at Bainbridge quarry in PA. All I can say, after getting everything adjusted (which took me a few tries!) is that the difference in my diving was simply amazing. I took some time to get the proper weight sorted out, and was able to take ALOT of weight off the belt (keep in mind I also added a 6lb STA). This is the first time i've ever used back inflation and also the first time diving a backplate. In only two dives i can tell a HUGE difference.

    I'm very, very pleased with this purchase.

    (p.s. - Kracken, I actually didn't get a new 'tall' plate after all. I just had to tweak this one a little to get it dialed in just right. life is good!)

    I just purchased the same thing and dove it today as well. I dove an aluminum 80 double setup and liked it a lot. Keep diving and have fun!!!
