So I'm on the couch adjusting my new harness on my backplate, watching the Travel Channel with my 3 year old son. It's a shark feeding show, out of Stuart's Cove, Bahamas. I always make a note to see what kind of equipment divers wear on TV. On this show there are 3 divers in the water. Lo and behold, two of them are wearing single tank backplates and wings, with what appear to be harnesses made from a single length of webbing. At least, there were no cross chest straps or big rings like the dive-rite harnesses. It also appears that the wings were small and streamlined, not doubles wings. Of course, all three divers had AGA masks on, so you couldn't tell what their reg preference was. There were 3 D rings and they were in the right location. I saw one diver with a single SPG guage clipped off the the lower D ring. The harnesses had crotch straps that were made of a single piece of 2" webbing. Very interesting...
