Harness needs to be loose, not tight, and obviously there are no "crankable"
straps. Tight means you can't operate properly and it means you get skin or
muscle bends at the pressure points. I don't even want to feel my tanks or
harness when I dive. If I do, I adjust it out. The crotch strap needs to be
loose as well, with only the distance from the back to the scooter ring
fixed. I think Cobb is speaking figuratively here.

Jim,

What was the reason given for cranking the straps down tight on your
harness?
