Here's one of those things that just felt dumb one day and has bothered me since.
On ascent, I'm constantly juggling the computer and the inflator hose. My solution has been to pull the computer (Suunto Cobra) and hose across my chest and hold it with my right hand and hold the inflator hose with my left hand.
It works, but it just feels awkward. What is the best technique for this?
I could throw hardware (and money) at the problem but that rarely helps.
Should I save my pennies and ebay my Cobra for a Vytec?
A cheap wrist mount gauge and SPG would work but I like starting at the sand and working my way up the wreck and tables would penalize my dive time with that profile. If I get a wrist mount gauge as a supplement to my existing computer, I could use my ai computer for most of the dive, then watch the depth on my wrist during ascent. As long as I start my ascent with enough NDL time for ascent, deep stop, and safety stop, I wont have to watch the computer as closely.
Should I grow another left arm? Is there some trick technique to this? A picture (even on land) would be priceless!
If I wasn't juggling, I'd probably try the horizontal ascent (or even supine :11: like some folks on the board) to really smooth things out.
Thank you,
Bryan.
