I have used a harness with no QR for RIB diving using twin 7l cylinders,
and have had no problems removing the gear.
2 tips I was given.

1) As a starting point, adjust the webbing so than you can get 4 fingers in
at
the shoulder.
2) If you have fully inflated the wing whilst resting in the surface let
some
of the air out, if you are correctly weighted you won't plummet.

I have not tried with twin 12l (12 litre, not 121 :-) ) but would not
anticipate
a problem.
