    PVC gear rack, need ideas and experience

    Just built my own pvc dive rack using some leftover 3/4" pvc pipes. One advice I'd give if making your own pvc rack assembly is use short length section for better sturdiness. btw: the bendiness in image is due to panorama feature on camera.

    Actually, I think I found a solution with: About DiveSlates.com and Paramount Services Inc. which prints custom dive slates. The question I have now is whether wax pens would work better than pencils. Hope to be able to see wrting on slate via camera I'd be shooting on.
