<<Make sure the backplate is not binding against the tanks and
trapping the harness.You may have to add a few stainless nuts to the
lower
tank band bolt to shim out the plate.
          It would also help to grind/radius the edges of the slots
that
the waist strap portion of the harness passes through.This will allow
the
harness to slide easily and provide a little more slack in the shoulder
straps.>>

what kind of ridiculousness is this?  you are trying to correct a
problem by creating another problem.  you do not want the tank spaced
any further off of your back than is absolutely necessary.  it will just
lead to worse trim in the water.  everyone else hit the nail right on
the head - his harness was too tight.

manos,

loosen the harness a little bit at a time until you can just get out of
it.  if you are diving dry, inflate the suit and dump the air out of the
wings.  diving wet, just loosen the harness.  don't add those spacer
nuts though.
