I just got a pair of EMT shears, with a sheath. The sheath has a belt loop, and a plastic D ring. (it's the one that Scuba Toys sells for around $12.00)
It's a tad too large for my BC pockets, (Zeagle Stiletto), and there isn't really any place convenient for the belt loop.
I have about a zillion zip-ties. It seems that it would be simple to use zip-ties, to attach the sheath to one of the "D" rings. Do people do that? Bolt snaps, or any of that type of hardware seems like over-kill to me.
Please bear with me and all my questions.....this is my first set of gear. I don't really have any friends nearby that dive, and the LDS is a little far. (I've been scaring the poor dog, trying on the BC in the living room ,messing around with it!) I have all of the basic gear, and I want to be streamlined.
I do have a dive vacation planned, in a couple of weeks. I do not have a place to try the gear, not even a pool! I contacted the shop, where I'll be diving. I'll be arriving too late for their morning 1 tank "orientation dive" so they offered me free use of their pool, (but I'm the only diver...no one to buddy with), They also gave me the option of doing a 1-tank shallow reef dive, when they take out their "resort course" divers. I opted for the dive!
I'd appreciate any hints, tips or suggestions, concerning gear configuration would be greatly appreciated.....thanks! Oh yeah...this is what I have...
Aqualung Legend LX w/ABS Octo
Scubamax mini-gauges, (SPG & depth gauge combo attached to bolt-snap w/an O-ring to clip off on "D" ring)
Zeagle Stiletto
Aeros Atmos 2 Wrist Computer
Ikelite PCA (I think that's the model...it's the small 4AA cell fit's in BC pocket)
I haven't got a compass yet...I'll likely try one out at the island
Again, any and all tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
