    Fin Carrier

    Well when carrying camera gear for a shore dive I always feel like I need another pair of hands, or at least a way of carrying less. So out of all the gear the only bit that I could comfortably drop was the fins. Also helps if you're carrying other gear (prawning nets, cray loops)

    Basically a scrap bit of rope (three strand) with a loop spliced into one end and a Stainless Steel clip on the other end. The rope goes through the fin straps, then the SS clip goes through the eye. You could either carry the rope, clip it onto a shoulder D-ring, or wherever you want. Only used it once so far but the length seems about right. Makes life much easier carrying gear to a shore dive, plus instead of leaving where they aren't level, and getting them out of shape, they can just hang up with BCD's and wetsuits.

    Good idea, I like it. Where do you leave the rope when you enter the water, on your BCD?

    I've glued a thight pocket onto my wetsuit and it goes into that. I guess it could just clip onto your BCD or go in any pocket.
