Scuba anyone?

@goosehd It's not load-bearing. I have a load of stuff hanging off the lower ring, some of which (like my torch) are on extenders, which means when I am swimming horizontally they hang quite a long way down (which is an issue when I am close to the bottom or going through small openings. So my idea is I attach the extender to the new upper ring and thread the extending cable through the lower ring. I'll take a photo of the rig when it is set up….

The reason I asked is that you always see a bar tack or some sort of X-stitch for reinforcement on nylon webbing? Always wondered why and if it's due to stretch and potentially weakening in the webbing itself.
I also wonder given the environment that you'll be using it would be cause for potential problems if load bearing. Might be fine for attachments…
One of those why do they do it kind of questions...

@goosehd I've updated the post 2 & 3 are fish. 1 is a Nudibranch which means naked lung. The family is massive and it is a delight to find new ones (to us)….

30 years ago…I had just started dating Laura, lived in Ottawa Canada and had friends who just returned from Baltimore, Maryland. They had brought back some blue crabs for a big feast and invited me. I phoned Laura to invite her to come along and asked her "have you ever had crabs"....still laugh about that one today. 
...note: probably not a good question to ask someone who you've just started dating....

Ha….
About 25 years ago when I was in corporate life, I went to some sort of business seminar. I sat down next to some random guy. As I settled down, he leant over a whispered in my ear, "Got rid of those crabs yet Giies?".......
Turns out he was my roommate for my first year at Uni, we had not kept in touch, but he sure did remember my travails....

None of them mine of course
Harlequin Shrimp (about 1cm carapace)….
Mantis Shrimp, my favourite reef-thug. One of them hit my pointer stick yesterday and I felt the jolt, and the things are no more than 3" long….
Factoid (stolen from the web).....A mantis punch arrives with the acceleration of a . 22-caliber bullet, 50 times faster than a human eye can blink. Underwater, the low pressure bubble left in the wake of the punch collapses upon itself in a burst of light and heat, reaching an estimated 8,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
