Subject: Right Side Waist D-Ring.

> After diving a different harness for a year I recently switched to an

> attachment point for two wreck reels. I've dove with the reels attached

> overloaded with an argon bottle and stages.   Since no DIR set up shows
> this I can only assume that it is a BAD IDEA, but I would like to hear
> the pros (if any) and cons of this idea from those in the group.  One
