OMS Crotch Straps - Used for fastening a harness and backplate securely to a diver's body, one end of the strap is threaded onto the backplate and the other end with a loop is placed on the waist belt webbing. The crotch straps keep 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 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 {2 in | 5.1 cm} crotch strap is ideal for technical doubles and extended scooter rides with exploration, while the {1 in | 2.5 cm} version is more suitable for Open Water single tank dives and Rec-Tec (Recreational Technical) diving. The {1 in | 2.5 cm} crotch straps include a {2 in | 5.1 cm} scooter ring, a quick disconnect Fastex clip for easy doff and don as needed, and a tri-glide belt slide for installation. Compatible with all OMS products, backplates, and harnesses.
