Handset routing

Soren Thomsen

Hi Inspo-divers,

Have any of you experimented with handset routing? I have my handsets the "normal" way over the shoulder and down on the outside of the CL secured with the velcro straps.
I was thinking about re-routing the handsets so that they would come out from under your arm and in between the CL and harness and finally clipped into the inner D-rings on the CL.
WHY?

I think in this way you could prevent accidental dragging handsets on the bottom (just like some new divers making a "follow me" trace with the SPG ) and making looking at the handsets a matter of simply looking down with no hands involved...

Any thoughts or ideas? or is it simply plain

Cheers
Soren

That's what I did when I had OTS counterlungs. It works fine.
Now that I have backmounted lungs, it's even better.

Allways try to streamline your gear, don't be a drag.

Under the arms and inside of the bailout cylinders is how I route mine, works great. I can't just glance down hands-free to see the ppO2 because of the way the handsets sit, still have to turn them towards me.

The primary comes over my left shoulder between the bailout tanks and the CL. The secondary comes under my right arm an i clipp it inside of the right CL on an D-ring. My SPG´s come left and right between and under the CL´s so that i don´t look like a christmas tree. Streamline is the answer.

I have mine coming over my shoulder and are secured in the velco on the inside of the counter lungs. I find it very easy to find the handsets and I think its fairly neet.

I also don't clip them together during the dive as once or twice before they would snag on something which I found rather annoying.
