I have come across too many divers adopting a backplate and wing setup but not really knowing how to set them up nor adjust them by themselves. Often I see the staff in the local dive shop setting up the equipment. As I'm a firm believer in establishing some form of intimacy with gear, I don't agree with the practice for many reasons. Perhaps the biggest one being that the divers don't really know how things work or why and how to adjust the rig properly.
Here's a very simple how-to on putting each component on, from the webbing all the way through to the single tank adapter. I wanted to put this out there as a guide for divers who want to assemble their own stuff, and perhaps by doing so understand how it all comes together. The configuration is for Recreational Diving, although Technical configurations pretty much share the same concept with the addition of a few more bits here and there. Gear here is a DIR kit from Tecline. It's a Peanut 16 Asymmetric which is a single tank wing. I'll upload an unboxing sometime later.
This video won't cover adjusting the rig on a diver, for that there are several out there, of course I'd recommend this one by InnerSpace Explorers.
