| It's all to do with what you do with your diving. If you are scootering 3 miles into a cave system with several stages and a couple of scooters, having a harness break is indeed a massive problem and potentially fatal.
In open water it's less of a problem. Especially hardboat diving. And in open water you are less likely to be carrying as many stages or use a scooter as an essential bit of kit.
If you are RIB diving it's more necessary to have a QR harness (I have a single break in the left shoulder strap under the armpit) as you can be brained by the boat in rough weather if you're not careful and need to be out of it double quick. I have a D ring either side of the break so that if it does decide to break, a 2 second job with a double ender mends it. |
