Veo 2.0 Bungee ?

[Mooseman1007]

Hi
My fiance as a Oceanic Veo 2.0 which she has used for the past year with no issues, but on our upcoming trip we will only be needing shorties rather than full suits, and this poses a problem....Her wrists are too small !. Granted the Veo's strap is huge, but thats fine with a 5 or 7mm suit on, but on bare skin / rash vest its a no go. Are there any replacement straps (similar to the velcro one released for the Geo 2.0, or a DSS bungee mount which would fit the Veo 2.0 ?
Hope someone has some ideas ( and before anyone suggests a DIY hack job....that was my first idea and was given short shrift !)

How about a 3 gauge console? I use the Oceanic 3 gauge console and the Veo replaces the depth gauge if you're comfortable with that.

I edited my original post saying to replace the compass, but after looking at it, the Veo won't fit there.

It may be an option in the future but only just got our travel reg setup so not for now, besides I know she likes having it on her wrist. Only option so far is for her to wear a sweatband under the watch, but its likely to slip easily !

Punch some new holes in the strap?

Remove the strap and drill four holes in the standard housing for bungee?

Take the VEO 2 and clip it onto a gear keeper or a snappy coil. That way you can use it in the warm water on a gear keeper or in cold water on your wrist.

Think its going to have to be clipped on as suggested, though I know shell want it on her wrist. I know she doesnt want it damaging in any way so drilling is out so there arent many options. I suppose i could get her off down the gym to do weights for the next week and hope it doubles the size of her wrists
Cheers anyway

Not a wrist mount, but I got one of these hose mounts for a backup veo 180... Oceanic Worldwide - Scuba and Snorkeling Gear, Scuba and Snorkeling Equipment and Dive Gear
