I use a hose protector. I cut it longer than the HUD so that it completely shadows it. I also cut out the front portion (similar to the slit of the DR DIVE-HUD Sun Cover you mention). I tilt the HUD so that it mostly points directly into my mask, and is very close to the mask. Works pretty well for me.



The only time mine spins out of place is from bumping into things out of the water such as when placing on the boat bench seat. It just takes a second to click it around into position. I am very happy with mine.

Nice solution with the hose protector. Thanks!

My concern about the DIVA mount is that mine is coming off at exactly the wrong places when, like you, I nudge or rub up against something.

Imagine squeezing thru a cave tunnel or inside a wreck and hitting something and having your DIVA mount become dislodged. To my way of thinking, that's when your DIVA is needed most, so you can keep an eye on what's going on. Having to stop and fool with it -- imagine with drygloves in very cold water inside a wreck -- just seems counter productive to me and an unnecessary increase in task loading.

It's probably just me. But, if someone can think of a way of locking that sucker in place at least this one person would be grateful.

Regards,

Bill
