Re: RHIB diving and the VR3 with 4th cell.

I've taken to replacing the wrist straps with a loop of rubber surgical tubing that slips over my wrist as a strap when desired. On the surgical tube I also attach a small brass snap as well. This way I can slip it off the wrist and snap it onto a D ring at any moment I choose. I do it in the boat as a routine, and often have it already snapped to a chest D ring while I am on deco. The surgitube allows me to pull it out far enough to read it even when on the D ring. If I need to thrust my arm into a hole while wreck diving I can slip it off and snap it on the D ring even on the bottom. This makes the entire thing easier to deal with. Instant on/off the wrist, compensates for drysuit expansion, allows me to slide it up the arm if needed and down to the wrist when I desire, secure, works great on the chest D ring for protection on the boat, etc. Just seems to be the best way possible. If I am doing a serious dive where I am watching time like a hawk, I actually wear the VR-3 on the back of my hand.... rubber over the large part of the hand but not over the thumb. Try it.

BTW, I use surgitube for all of my wrist worn stuff, IE: Mark-15 primary display, etc. I've gotten into the water MANY TIMES in advance of divers who are asking the boat mates for help strapping on their crap. I just slip it over my wrist and jump in....

So now do 2x911 x 924 x 356 x 914....

Answer is a huge self imposed tax on stupidity. Porsche folks will get it....
