Tieing of bolt snaps?
I have cable ties on my bolt snaps at the moment, but understand the 'proper' way is to use cave line.

Is there a recommended way of doing this or the bets type of knot?

I use this one from RichW website How to tie - nice clear instructions.


Opps didn't notice the previous link.

Smile Securing kit to the boat
Since we are on about securing things I found THIS on Clare's website the other day.

I do keep reading about twinsets falling off boat benches, yes I know obviously not mine, since I haven't been on a boat in months

Yes Fi, that's the knot I always use, although I pass the rope around the valves/first stages and tie it onto the rail.

One big advantage, if you leave a long enough loose end is that you can reach behind and pull on the rope to undo it if you forget to do so before getting into your harness

Having taken a second look at Clare's knot, it's not the one I use but very similar. Mine's just a clove hitch with a bight for a release and is a bit less complicated. I might post up some pictures if anyone's the least bit interested

This only works with rope though. I usually carry a length of rope around in my dive kit for those occasions when I get on a boat and am offered lengths of bungy to tied my gear up with. What's all that about? Smudge - are you listening? How about offering rope for those of us that can tie a knot
