    I love my DiveRite aluminum backplate and harness.I dive wet[for now]and have a D.R dual rec wing which has a backup bladder in case of a blowout.I can honestly say I love it too.

    I really like http://www.deepseasupply.com for my BP/W. I've really enjoyed it and it's high quality material and craftsmanship.

    I have the long pattern backplate, Hog harness and the LCD30# for singles and will be getting the T-49 for my doubles.

    Congrats on your certification! If you've got a card from Michael O'Leary, you earned it!

    I like the Dive Rite Transplate harness. It is very comfortable and extremely adjustable. I have two of them - one on an aluminum backplate for diving steel doubles, and one on a stainless steel backplate for diving with a single tank. In the course of a year I dive in everything from a 3mm wetsuit to a DUI CF200 drysuit with a thick undergarment. The Transplate harness lets me adjust very quickly and easily to varying exposure suits. I also like this because my configuration is nearly identical whether I am cave diving, wreck diving, or just fooling around in the local pond.

    I also earned my card from Michael O'Leary. Nothing gets past him. Nothing..
    I dive with a Hammerhead and like it. I have both also. Just make sure that the bolt holes are the right size for your bands. easy to fix in alum not so easy in steel. Good luck.
