SM Harness

[caver]

I have an extra backplate, harness material and a wing. I want to rigg a sidmount harness. Does anyone have a pic of what it should look like after I am done?

Just a note, I suppose you already know not to wedge yourself into anything tight with a backplate? Perfectly fine in more spacious areas although you don't actually need the back plate at all.

Just take a look at the DR website at their sidemount rig. You'll want the plate on top bungees around the sides over the top of the wing. The real key is to keep the wing tucked in since it will want to slip out and float up. Have someone look at you in the water once you're rigged up to make sure everything is in place.

What part of OH are you located in? I'm just across the river from Cincy, and have a couple of rigs that you can look at if you want (Nomad and homemade rig.) Shoot me an email if you're interested.

I have a home made rig to boat and OW dive in. You basically put the wing between your back and backplate and clip the ends of the wings down to the waist belt with a couple of snaps.
No bungie needed and it's quite compact, down side is you need to have you weighting dead on as you don't have a wide range of lift because your wing is somewhat constricted. But it dumps fast! It's in AL and I'm in TN so I can't get any pics till this weekend. Most folks opt for the wing on the outside and use bungies to keep it packed in tight.
I use a nomad to cave dive with.
