I dive wet but I don't have any problem donning and doffing my harness in the water (infact I almost never gear up on a boat, certainly not a zodiac, too cramped, no time, etc). As Matthias said the crotch strap stabilises the whole set. Keep the shoulder straps loose, once you do up the waist strap everything is secure. Check out how I position the BP, etc if it helps (although as I said I dive wet)... http://wwwdev.scu.edu.au/staff_pages/shartley/projects/gear/ Simon Simon L Hartley RSM Website Coordinator\First Year Course Coordinator Associate Lecturer School of Resource Science and Management Southern Cross University P.O.
