Vision handset placement

corneliusdevilliers · 6th March 2008, 07:32

I was wondering where most of you place your vision handset while diving.

Being a cave diver, I cant let it hang around. It's also an entaglement risk if I clip it onto the front of my buckle.

I know it can be wrist mounted - but the cable is a bit long and can also cause entanglement.

Any ideas or suggestions? or am I just full of **** ?

Cipped onto the D-ring at the bottom of the right hand counter lung, using AP supplied kit.

Same for me. I found it difficult to see over the HUD when used on the wrist. Also kept forgetting to undo it from wrist when getting back on boat

Hello,

The way I found works best 4 me is replacing the strap at top of hand set with surgical tube. The hand set sit right on top of the back of my hand. The tube wraps around my palm, and the second strap I tighten to my wrist. Just a turn of the hand shows me the display. The Hose Just wraps around the arm like a dive light. I dive a lot of wrecks so I understand the concept of my dangles. So far it has worked wonders.

Best of luck

I use a similar system. I replaced the plastic straps with VR3 straps. One goes around my wrist the other around my palm. Works great.

I have the HUD on the right side, just route the wire through the exhalation loop hole on the case. Thick elastic starps with clips like the searwater ones work great for attaching to the wrist. Actually I have it rolled inbord a bit so its on the side of my wrist so i can see it without actually moving my arm at all.
