I forgot to clip it on some dives but I didn't even notice it. Some people swear by it though.

More of a neccessity when diving with heavy doubles. Single AL tank would probably be okay without it. Some trips I take, the ladies are more than eager to help you bring it up from between your legs!

OMG.
What kind of ladies do you dive with?
I had people staring at me asking "ermm...what are you doing??" when I struggled to find them, fumbling between my legs..

The new package prices are probably due to Diverite revising their their prices for the backplate and harness. Received a mailer from ST regarding this recently.

I think its because of the Golems gear package which includes a dive knife as well for $390. $390-$13 is awfully close to $375

12.95 for shears!!! I got mine for 6.00. But I work in a warehouse that sells medical supplies.
