Camera

Is there a DIR recommendation for how to carry a camera underwater?

I'm talking about a small, simple digital in housing - this one in fact:



Would you add a boltsnap to it and clip it off somewhere, carry it in a pocket or what?

I Have a boltsnap tied to my MX10. It then gets clipped to a stage bottle, or my left hip D-ring.

Not sure if this is an "Approved" method or not, but it seems to work.

I tie off a small ('O' Ring size) piece of bungee off to the camera (where the wrist lanyard is shown on your pic) and then just use a double ender to clip it to my butt D-Ring.
When taking pics I just clip the double-ender off to my right chest D-Ring and replace when done.

I've also tried wearing it on the left hip D-Ring but because the housing has a counter-weight I find it drops down a little bit too much for my liking.

Hope that helps

Thanks guys, will try those ideas.

Surely it would be difficult to establish a standard location for a piece of equipment with so many permutations?

Ultimately you want to stow the camera where it causes no interference or entanglement risk, with my video housing (Light & Motion Mako so Aluminium and heavy) I have two expandable spiral clips going to chest D-rings, when I deco I expand these and clip the housing off to my crotch strap D-ring where it is out of the way. If I were scootering the housing would be attached to the scooter so using the crotch D-ring wouldn't be an issue then.
