Nice one Kate.

Now remember to tie it to you this time. You don't want to lose it.

Oh, and get it insured before you take it into the water.

Can't wait to see the photo's.

Be carefull with lost. I have my equipment insured with DAN and they have a clause (as do a lot of other Co) that state it is not insured if lost while in your care, ie diving or droped/sweepet overboard. I spoke to DAN about this and they said 98% of claims were lost while diving or gone overboard and they could not afford to cover at the rate the claims were coming in.

DiveMaster insurance pay out on these type of claims I lost a computer overboard whilst on our club rib. Although I think that camera insurance is an extention to standard dive kit cover.

I have something similar to this although mine has a little triangular caribina type fitting which I attach to a ring on my BC/ wing http://www.scubabits.com/sp_12975.html OK, link hasn't gone directly to the product COILED DETACH LANYARD L53
