Well I never

I finally made my choices and bought some scuba gear. It was a very difficult decision, but I’m hopeful that I will be happy with what I’ve picked. The only thing I’m leery about is the compass, well, not the compass itself, but the housing. I went with the SK7 on a retractor, but I may end up with it on my wrist sooner or later. I like it on the retractor and all, however I think it will end up being too dangly for my comfort. I was able to clip off the computer pretty well with a double bolt snap. My hope is that I won’t have to remove the computer while diving, just be able to look at it. I may end up with a quick release clip on that, but it seems longer (and hence more dangly) to me. The only thing I could think of for my compass was to somehow attach a snap to the back of the compass and the BC for extra attachment, but I’m really not sure how I could do that (glue? no-sew snaps?). Hopefully Roland, Jason, and I will be going for a dive on Friday so I will have a chance to try it out before taking the class on Saturday and Sunday. I’m still a bit nervous about the class and having all new gear isn’t helping. Anyway, that’s the news from here.
