Where to wear a dive computer?

[gypsyjim]

Someday, not for a long time yet I hate to say, heads up, in mask display. Not in this working stiff's budget, right now, but after I got to play with one last Jan on Bonaire I fell in love.

Talk @ hands free! Yours and your buddy's, heads up. SWEET!

As I said, someday....

I wear my primary computer on my right arm above my SK7 compass. Like TS&M I rotate it so that I can sea it with a simle glance down. I prefer the computer on my right arm as all my BC controls are oon my left side.

Computer on the right, compass on the left.

I wear my computer above the compass on the right arm just free of the wrist so when I ascend or descend I can control buoyancy with my left hand and follow the ascend / descend on my computer.

Computer on the right, compass on the left.

Same.

It makes sense as soon as you start scootering.



All the best, James

I wear mine on my right wrist. When I used to hunt lobsters I would turn it to the inside of my forearm so it wouldn't snag while reaching into holes.

My primary computer (Shearwater Pursuit) is always on my left arm, I place it on my forearm, closer to my wrist than my elbow, and skew it so that I don't have to move my arm to read the numbers on it.

Left arm - Compass closest to my wrist, then my computer
right arm - bottom timer right above my wrist

Interesting thread.
Since I am getting back into diving after a long period out of the sport computers and bottom timers are all new toys to me.

I have a VT3 which I wrist mount to my left inside forearm. My dive timer (watch with redundant depth and time at depth recorders) is currently in my BC pocket since the OEM strap is way too short for wearing over a wetsuit much less a drysuit. I have a 17 inch band on order and will wear it on the right inside forearm. Compass is on a retractor on my BC.
