Mine were fitted as standard on my Otter suit but I did put in a special request for having them on the side rather than the front.

Stuart is the name of the technician at Divers Warehouse. He very patiently explained to me on the phone this week why an M25x2 valve wouldn't screw into a G 3/4 cylinder, despite my having provided a perfectly good M25x2 valve....

back to dry suit pockets..

The very nice chap there who does the suit repairs, whose name escapes me now,

Wasn't it JJ ?

 

[Jules]

Ahhh JJ!

Wasn't it JJ ?

Yes it was JJ at Divers warehouse who put my pockets on for a bargain price and in double quick time, thanks to my very nice boyfriend who dropped it in for me on the monday so that I could collect it on the Thursday.

Don't forget to add loops of bungee to clip the contents to so you don't loose anything when blindly rummaging around for the backup mask

Technicians these days, has he not heard of a 'universal spanner' aka 'hammer'

'Look, it fits'

Northern Diver Pockets are the best as you can stuff a complete SMB AND REEL in one and your spare mask tables other bits in the other,

THey are rather big but who cares stops having dangley bits on your kit...

Drysuit Pockets ??

Hi All,

I'm having some cargo pockets fitted to my drysuit and I'm not sure whether to have them fitted to the front of the legs or the sides, what would you guys suggest and why?

Also, I'll need to send the suit by courier, I've priced up parcel farce and they'll charge £13.25, are there any cheaper options, these could turn out to be very expensive pockets!

Cheers

Ian

On the front - if you side mount them and start using stages they become very trcky to get at. Sending stuff is expensive, but hurry because Mr Crozier at the Royal Mail reckons prices need to double in the near future - doh!!

Pockets

I have two cargo pockets on my suit : They are on the front of the legs.

I wreck dive + was worried the side pockets might catch / snag.

Ref the postage ; which everone you use make sure your suit is INSURED + check out the claim procedures.

 

[Rick Huggins]

Have them fitted to the side. If you have them fitted to the front, they'll restrict your movements. Also fit all your kit onto bungie so you can pull out the entire contents, grab what you want and replace all the other stuff.

I use bolt snaps to attach to the bungie

Mmmmmmmmmm......................

What do you carry ????

That will restrict your movement.

I only have goody bags in mine.

 

[Paul Beal]

I have got mine on the front and wish they were on the side. I can't get into them if I am carrying a stage without a bit of effort and they catch on bits of wreck I think I have cleared

I imagine I carry similar things in my pockets as young froggy - spool, compass, depth gauge, spare d-timer, spare SMB (small one).

torches *2
line cutter
in the other side

 

[Woz]

Fit them yourself is the cheapest option.

[bottle_monkey]

I got some lovely pockets to fit myself. However, be warned as the instructions say you need a friend. Anyone fanncy the job.

Please!

pockets

Ok , my pockets mustn`t be as large as yours.

Will agree to disagree .

Mine are on the front and they are a total bitch trying to get back into a RIB.
