Easy to put on even with thick gloves, more secure, needs no adjustment but can be easily done if need be. Simply move the bungee knots up or down depending on wet / drysuit use (tip - don't do them up too tight!)

Hope this helps someone else as much as it did me !

Cheers

I wonder if John at Kent tooling could knock one up out of stainless...

Calling John.....

Sorted
Got the strap together and works fine...slightly changing the subject...is it worth changing to Q mode till I get used to it or is it better to get used to N mode?

I have been reading the book and trying to figure out the mysteries of the menus

I wouldn't bother with the Q mode myself.

There wasn't a manual when I got my first one...that may have been an advantage

A few minutes with someone that is already using one will save you a lot of reading and head scratching. The operation tends to make a lot more sense when you go diving with it.

yup
I found that with Dive Rite Nitek 3 and Vytec... use it and get used to it

Once you start using it it all makes sense... I tend to just flip between air and 50% or 80% and stop when they tell me...lovely toy and will have the Vytec for back up
