Recently, I noticed a posting on someone's blog that indicated they were using a similar system that was recommended to them by Ryan Canon at Reef Photo ( Reef Photo & Video!, The Underwater Photo Pros).Excellent article. I'm on my way out right now, but I will post some pictures of my strap a little later on today, so you can get a visual of what I am describing. When I'm on the anchor line completing decompression dives, I can either clip one end to the base of the camers and clip the other end to one of my rebreather's d-rings and let it hang down or I can run it throug that very same d-ring and clip it back on the base of the camera, which allows me to shorten the hanging distance - It works very well.Īlso, since I put a lanyard on one end of the strap, I can put my hand anytime I want an added security or when I really want to keep it close, like when I am closely bunched up with a bunch of other divers like sardines completing decompression requirements. What I actually use is a Dive Rite Side Mount Bungee, which comes stock with a stainless steel clip on one side, then I add anothet clip to the other side. This strap is extremely heavy duty and is very versatile, even for carring the camera on/of the boat. What I use to secure it to myself is one foot long bungee that has a stainless steel clip on each side and a lanyard on one of the sides as well. However, even with strong currents, and we often get 2+ knot currents, I ALWAYS take my camera. I dive many of the deeper wrecks in South Florida, which are usually plagued with very strong currents because of the Gulf Stream Currents.
