I was thinking about putting this in the DIY room, but after my shameless crack on opening day of that room, I'd probably get sizzled and expelled... so it goes here.

Here are the bungee mounts I made for the Suunto gear. First time diving wrist-mounted stuff - really liked it.

Are you sure you won't lose your D3 ?

Those aren't pins (like watch pins) - its a bar and screw assembly. Some Krazy glue offers a little peace of mind, as does some KG on the knot.

But if by some unfortunate miracle the screw unthreads its self, the thing will likely sink into the blue.

I'm open - this is the best I could come up with.

Thanks -

I hate it when that happens.

Here is another variation. Thread bungee through the bar, tie off in a loop. Do same with other side, passing bungee through first loop to form interlocking loops. One bar fails, D-3 isn't fishfood.

Thanks for the nudge....

Could you make two loops of bungie so each loop goes through both loops on the Suunto? Pretty similar to the SK7 set-up. This means you will keep the timer if one loop breaks. I have this on my Stinger (but that has watch pins so I am a little more cautious)

Based on your photos, Suunto seems to have made a design change to the strap attachment points.

The black bands which the bungees run under in the photos are gone and the spaces filled in. A long thin pin in a very shallow trench run through four attachment points on each strap. I seriously doubt you could get bungee under the pin.

It looks like the only option is to pierce the upper bands with a soldering iron for the bungees, and superglue the pins into place.
