Dive Rite Crotch Strap 1.5" (3.8cm) w/Stainless Steel Ring

Used for fastening a harness and back-plate securely to a diver's body, one end of the strap is threaded onto the back-plate and the other end with a loop is placed on the waist belt harness webbing. The crotch strap keeps the harness in place during water entry. By using a crotch strap, divers can prevent their gear slipping upwards on the body in the water, reducing the likelihood of the tank touching the back of the head during a dive. Crotch straps include a 304-grade stainless-steel scooter ring for use with diver propulsion vehicles (DPVs). The ring is also a convenient place to temporarily clip off an item to free your hands, such as a lobster snare or camera. The 1.5" (3.8cm) continuous webbing crotch strap measures 38" (96.5cm) in length has a 2,200 lbs (100kg) tensile strength, weighs 3 oz (85g) and is preferred by technical divers who use DPVs for extended periods of time. Crotch strap is proudly made in the U.S.A.
