Thinking of BC's

MuscleBob, there is a post by Tek_Divr in the Hogarthian Forum here on exactly how to setup a HOG rig complete with step by step instructions and images.

Hi Packhorse, being unable to contort myself enough to get out of a Hog setup is a concern.

I hadn't thought of quick releases in the strap. What did you use, just the standard plastic clip or something more substantial?

[Packhorse]

Standard 2inch plastic clip. much the same as found on standard BCs. Also used a 2in clip on the crotch strap. The way it comes you have to slot the crotch strap in thru the waist strap. Also a standard 1in clip on the chest strap.
You can buy them from most dive shops. I got mine from Adventure watersports in Manukau and you can also get them at Global dive which is where I brought the 2 extra D rings I needed to modify the harness.
If you want to have a look at mine PM me.
After diving this rig I dont understand why everyone doesnt go BP/W. esp at this price.
I also have a diverite transpac and trancpac 2 with out wings for sale if you are interested.

I liked the look (price too) of that Aussie rig. I am not keen on the transpac, would go the transplate if I was going diverite.

What sort of wing are you using? How does it go with singles? Does it need a STA or is it fine with just the backplate?

Cheers.

I use the black art 30lb wing with my single and a dive rite sports wing 44lb with doubles. I also have a DR super wing that I brought with the transpac.
The plate does not require a STA with singles.
