    The Halcyon ones are very nice, or you can get the ScubaPro ones with the stainless buckles...I've heard they work good to.

    Cam Straps

    I love the Dive Rite cam straps. I have never had a problem with them, but I have also heard scubapro ones are very good too. I hope this helps.

    Pick a manufacturer that you like, but make sure the buckle is made of metal. DO NOT use plastic buckles. They WILL break-take it from someone who's had it happen at the worst possible time. I've now got a Halcyon buckle with the gator straps-this combo works very well.
    "I will spare you a gushy description of the dive itself, except to say that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent. "

    One of my rigs has the Halcyon with Gator straps, however it is the open cam type. I was hoping to go with a different strap.

    The only problem with the Halcyon straps is that they will gouge your tanks some.

    Metal cams, won't gouge your tanks, have grippers.

    Ditto on the Dive Rite cams. I prefer them over the Scubapro type.

    Dive Rite stainless steel - the only way to go! (In my opinion)
