Where Do You Keep Your Spare Mask?

[Daebado]

Diving a BP/W with one pocket just big enough to hold my SMB and Reel.
If not in a pocket, where do you all stow your spare mask? So far, I haven't been taking one on dives but I feel like I should. Just don't have a good place to keep it!

For warm water diving, I stow my spare mask in my Highland Neoprene Pocket Shorts.

I have a Dive Rite mask pocket that slides onto my right waistband and tucks up against my wing. Completely out of the way but easily reachable if needed.

I have the older version of this pocket. I've been using it for years without issue.

I also wear pocket shorts but I honestly prefer this utility pocket. The pockets on my shorts are primarily for my primary and backup DSMBs with pre-attached spools. Those are critical to the diving I do (southeast FL drift diving primarily) and I like to keep my pockets uncluttered to easily extract either DSMB at a moments notice. However, pockets on pocket shorts are also a perfectly adequate place to store it. Just not my preferred location.

If I needed it when diving wet, I'd have a pair of neoprene pocket shorts on.

Ha Ha! Ok, I guess I asked for that one.

I think I'm leaning towards that DiveRite mask pocket. The dive shorts pockets would be ok but most of my diving is in warmer water, sans neoprene.

I use a low profile mask as my primary and spare. Mask goes either in wetsuit leg pocket or back pocket when I dive sidemount.
your SMB and reel should go on your butt D-ring, thus freeing space in your pocket for wetnotes and a spare mask

I've seen way too many divers trailing unfurled SMBs without a clue it had come unfurled. Both of my DSMBs will stay safely stored in my left and right thigh pockets, my mask will stay in my mask pocket on my right waist strap, and I have no use for wetnotes so those stay in my bin at home awaiting a potential future use for them.

I use a set of cheap knockoff pocket shorts... and the buoyancy they add is negligable (a pound... ish) so I just still use them for warm (no wetsuit) diving. And my kids appreciate it covering the Speedo!
