Harness adjustments
After putting the back plate and harness together, adjustments will have to be made to suit your unique
body shape and diving requirements. Here are some helpful guidelines for you to follow:
-
It is a good idea to put on the exposure suit intended to be used with the BCD so the best
adjustment can be achieved.
-
Adjusting the height of the back plate: After putting the harness on, you should be able to touch the
top of the back plate with your finger tips.
-
The shoulder straps should fit as snugly as possible but not overly tight so that donning or doffing
becomes difficult. Adjust strap length so there is just enough room for 2 fingers to pass through
between the chest and the strap.
-
The waist straps secure the lower portion of the harness to your torso. It should be tight but not
uncomfortable. Excess webbing should be trimmed off and the loose threads burnt off with a lighter.
You can leave the webbing slightly longer than needed as adjustments may be necessary due to a
change in the thickness of the exposure suit used / body shape.
-
Chest D-rings: For the basic harness, the bent D-rings should be located approximately mid way
between the collar bone and the most pronounced part of the chest. For the deluxe harness, adjust
the height of the top pair so they are approximately mid way between the collar bone and the most
pronounced part of the chest.
-
Waist D-rings: They should be placed at the widest points of the waist.
-
Crotch strap length: It should be long enough to stop the back plate from moving upward but not too
short that it becomes uncomfortable. Trim off the excess and burn off any loose fibre with a lighter to
prevent fraying.
Please pay extra precaution when using fire.
-
Crotch strap back D-ring: It should be on or just above the tailbone.

3) Thread the webbing
through both vertical
loops on the back of the
weight pocket.
4) Attach waist D-rings to the waist strap
with webbing keepers. Due to the
addition of the weight pockets, the
position of the D-rings may not be at the
widest points of the waist.
Attaching wing and tank adaptor to single tank BCD
1)
To attach the single tank adaptor to your back plate, firstly, put the square based screws through the
holes in the single tank adaptor then through the grommets of your air cell from the back.
