Where to buy a strap on? :D

Mark Chase · 14th May 2007, 06:30

OK its still a long way off but I cant help thinking about it. When we do the cave course in Mexico i am assuming ill be in a wet suit. All fine and dandy but it hasn't got pockets.

I will need pockets for all the rubbish ill need so can any one point me at a good system that mounts on the waste band and straps to the leg? Preferably one they have tried because I have various concerns over finning actions being interfered with.

All you warm water cave divers out there, do you use a pocket? I am thinking slate, spare mask, couple of jump gap spools, spare bolt snap etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,

I have a pair of 2mm neoprene kayaking shorts, I glued two O Three pockets on and wear the shorts over the top of my wetsuit.

Works pretty well

Cheers

"X-shorts" are one option. Basically they are bicycle shorts with bellows pockets glued on. They work great.

Get Othree to glue some nice pockets on! Works for me.

Have a look here I used to use their Tradesman pouch when on OC.

How large is the tradesman pouch?
I don't see any size on the site, also did you glue it or use the straps
Thanks

Mark,

Many years ago I used to have a Beaver Pocket that threaded through the weight belt and then had a velcro strap for the leg.

It could hold a load of stuff and was fairly cheap. I think they still do them.

I have used this Thigh Pocket from Diverite on my warm water trips.

Dive Rite Pockets for Slates, Weights, Masks/Utilities, and More

It does the job but I recently changed to having a few pockets glued on.

You can also look at Oxycheq. They have a strap on and a glue pocket. Look at X and g pockets here:

When I went to Mexico to do my cave course I juste glued on 2 Northern Diver neopreen pockets on my suite. Worked like a charm.

I have a similar pocket from Bowstone. It has a webbing strap with a small fastex buckle that goes around your leg. Works quite well and isn't too restrictive. It does have a tendency to swing around to the front when swimming, unless you have the leg strap restrictively tight.

I've also used the Dive-Rite two zipper pocket linked to from above. Quite neat, but clearly smaller than a leg pocket. I found that, combined with my stomach, it impeded my ability to squeeze through small holes, so possibly not ideal for Cave Diving ;-)

Cheers,

Phil
