Can you recommend a pocket to use with a harness? I want to carry a mirror, wet notes and a few other small items. It doesn't need to be too large, and prefer not to glue pockets to my suit. X-shorts seem like overkill.
I was thinking about one of these Dive Rite pockets:
Get the thigh pocket. I have one and it works well. I typically have a back-up mask, bail-out tables and a few odds-n-ends in mine. The good thing about the thigh pocket is that it is a little easier (for me) to reach into as opposed to a pocket which is directly on the waistband. It's basically the same as a glue-on pocket, without glue
I have the same newer version as pictured. The older version of the thigh pocket got a bad rap, mainly because the elastic holding the pocket to your thigh would slip and the pocket would slide around on your leg. The new version has a latex-like non-skid material and a better designed elastic band that doesn't slip.
Strangely, I have Halcyons weight pockets and they have a roll out thigh pocket which I almost NEVER use.
The velcro is soo good that I have a hell of a time getting the pocket open to retreive anything.
I find it more difficult to reach a waste pocket but it's easier to get opened.
As much as I love Dive Rite gears, the pockets they make are too big for my own purposes. Even the Clipper pocket is roomier than I prefer for my needs. So I got an xscuba pocket that is a lot smaller than the DR pockets, and dare I say it, a lot cheaper too. Enough for me to throw in a pocket knife, a 4lbs soft weight, some small trash that I might find under the sea.

I was thinking about one of these Dive Rite pockets:
I use the DiveRite "Clipper/Slate" pocket on the right waist strap of BP/W. Am in the process of adding another one to right side for offshore diving. In one pocket I am able to carry a safety sausage, mirror, and compass. These pockets work well and hold up great.

"They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport". Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage. Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure." www.sfdj.com
