It's probably a somewhat dumb question, but I'll never know if I don't ask: I'm doing quite a bit of underwater photography and the next step was to make less bubbles and be able to stay a little longer. So, I just finished my certification on the Evolution and I have a configuration problem. There are situation with a CCR more than in OC where we need two hands or a specific hand to do something (like shutting down the O2 valve or closing the mouthpiece). Any advice on how to attach my camera rig in such a way that it can still be moved around comfortably, but also where I can drop it and take care of whatever emergency without worrying about that $5000 of equipment.
Thanks,
Michel

First thing I would do is streamline that harness that comes with the Evolution. Then add a nice side d-ring to the left chest harness. Put a 26" lanyard and a stainless snapbolt on your camera. Once in the water, clip your camera to the d-ring and never take it off until your back to the boat.
