This is where i clip my various bits, just wondering what others do and why (as we all wonder at times about these items)?? Feel free to add/ask others.
SPG (assuming analog gauge) - now clipped to left chest D as i can see it with a quick glance down, i have clipped it to the left hip D, but found it harder to see when cliped and didnt like unclipping it to see it. I sometimes do find the inflator hose gets on top of it, still trying to get around that. I do find that the SPG in this position also becomes like a placement for my primary hose - coming up from my hip, it is placed around the SPG and up behind my neck, keeps a little tension on it which i like.
Primary hose - when OOA (doing drill so far) i clip the hose of my primary (assuming i am not donor) to the bungee of my backup, dont think it would reach to the right shoulder D without some tugging about.
Reels - just on another post this was mentioned. Safety and backup spool on butt D just lower than tank, i have seen them clipped onto tank mounted D's and my buddy isnt diving a BP/W, so for the back inflate BC she has a utility belt that has D's behind her hips. Primary during water entry and exit i clip to left hip D, but of course when in water it is usually in use, but have clipped also to butt D to keep it out of stream.
Lights - i think this is mostly universal, back ups on shoulder straps with bungee/innertube/surgical tubing and clipped to chest D's. Aside from that obvious set up, I also clip my HID off on right D on entry and if i am lead diver working the reel (i find winding in a pain with light on my hand), and my No 2 is giving me light on the way in as to where to place/tie. If i do need it, i can always unclip it from the double ender on the chest D and put it on my hand. Still getting in the habits of reel work, so could still change.
Arrows/Cookies - i started out clipping these on the necklace, but i use 3/16" bungee and they didnt feel all that secure, or easy to get off one handed - others have it on 1/4" and they seem tighter, but still not simple to snap on and off. I recently started putting them on a chest D (and have thought of putting them on bungee or such in a pocket) which seem to hold them securely, but i have been informed that when i start using stages, that could be a pain to get to, so looking for ideas/thoughts.
So where do you clip all those things you bring with you to dive???
