Clipping off Reels / SMBs etc

Pelagian · 2nd June 2005, 17:07

Hey Stu

I got a picture of the pouch mounted on my Meadows Plate on my Meg that i'll post when I get home from work.

You'll need to drill 2 holes and use a couple of 3/4" SS quick links to get it on, but it's a sweet little setup that actually provides some cushioning on your backplate.

It's not the great for teaching as once you deploy it you can't stuff it back, but that's not a concern for dives, as if your gonna deploy it, it's staying up.

I store my reel on my butt d-ring as well, but as said before try to avoid sitting on it. I've actually crushed a handle off one in doubles, when I used to dive that OC stuff.

Cheers

Seb

Hello,

THis is from OC rig, which obviously will be transfeered to my Insp. Some bungie to BP side holes and have some cave line attached to a bolt snap to hip D ring. If I need to deply I will just pull cord and the bag will simply slide out. Also it serves as comftable padding!

Reel and goody bag to hip D ring.

Here are the pics of my Halcyon storage pouch and how I attached it to by Meadows plate.

Sounds intriguing, but struggling to visualise the bungee option. Don't suppose you have a any pics Padowan?

OK, so it's not a photo, but it's the best that I could do in Powerpoint in 5 minutes. Hopefully you get the idea...

All clear now - thanks!

Although OC, I don't have a D-ring on my bottom as I need to get to my valves on my twinverts. I have a loop of bungee about 5cm in diameter through one of the holes on my Woz plate. My back up reel and DSMB are attached to this. It's nicely out of the way, but very easy to get to. The bungee has a lot of stretch on it. I like Simon's extra stretch idea though.

SMB and spool in a thigh pocket.

or

Reel clipped on a butt D-ring on the crotch strap

That's the most streamlined configuration I found.

Cheers

We tried to destroy one by hitting it with a hammer... we succeeded but we really had to hit it hard.
