From an "old school" discussion on supertaco...

 

===================================================

 

What we used before we started making harnesses. You can dive on this comfortably all day long...

 

 

Grab three arm lengths of rope and then:

Tie a bowline on a bight

Put the resulting two loops on, one above your waist and one below. Adjust thru the knot so the top loop is tight and the bottom loop is looser.

Take the end of the rope back around your waist.

As you come around to the front go back through your crotch and pick up the lower loop and come back out on the opposite side that you went in on and then head back around your waist again.

Once back in front pick up the strands and tie and overhand around them and then do the same on the other side.

The finished product is functionally equivalent to any commercial harness.
