    Aeris 2 from retractor to wrist?

    I have an Aeris Atmos 2 on a retractor but want to move it to my wrist. I took the retractor off and mounted a velcro strap. I haven't dove with it yet but it seems very secure. I'm wondering though, did I expose anything on the back that shouldn't be exposed? Thanks in advance.

    I'm considering the purchase of an Atmos 2 console. I called to check if I could convert it to a wrist mount. Affirmative.

    There is a wrist strap you can buy and a boot too. SRP was $35 for the two I think.
    Not as cheap as your velcro strap perhaps, but more rugged and secure I suspect.

    Interested in selling the retractor? I have a wrist and want to make it a retractor.

    I would love to find a hose mount for it. right now I have it jury rigged on my hose.
    Be careful what you wish for,
    sometimes you actually get it.

    bladephotog, No... nothing on the back you're going to hurt.

    DEEPLOU, While they don't have a hose mount that I've seen for it... If you want to get it off the wrist, into a console, we can get you just a console boot without the guts... then you can toss everything in there.

    Host mount - yes!

    The Aeris 2004 catalog shows a hose mount.

    I was able to find an Aeris wrist strap from a local diver who'd put theirs on a retractor. So that problem is solved.

    Sorry, but I think I'll hang onto the retractor in case I want to switch back. Those Aeris retractors are just too darn expensive!

    Thanks,

    Andy

    No problem. I agree. About the time I get rid of something I then want it back. Thanks.
