A friend of mine has all his instruments on a home-made wrist console and it works well for him, although I think it looks a bit big and clumsy. Depending on the make, you may be able to get an extension for your watch strap – I have one for my Citizen Aqualand. You can put you compass in your BC pocket and just take it out when you need it, which probably won't be very often. Mine is in my TP II pouch, on a string attached to a D-ring so I don't lose it. As already suggested you could get a console that'll take most of your instruments but expect to get flamed by the DIR mob if you do. I have a two-compartment console with my spg and back-up computer. My primary computer (Mares Surveyor Nitrox) is on my wrist and the strap is plenty long enough. As regards danglies, you can reduce those by having thigh pockets glued to both thighs. If you get the bellows type, they will take a lot of bits and pieces. I have a DSMB and Buddy pocket reel in one and a spare mask and slate in the other. |
