$1,000 to help me with DIR question

OK, I was just kidding about the money but I could use help, a photo or something. When setting up a DIR system you attach the back up reg around your neck with a "Necklace" right? I know you can make it out of surgical tubing but how exactly do you attach it to the reg? Is it tied to the reg, or should the reg come right off the "necklace" when/if you have to use it? Any help would be appreciated.

That's the link I used a couple nights ago. From that link, there is this link: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=79052 which will give you these links: http://www3.sympatico.ca/chatterton/bungee.html for a picture, and http://www.bsa-troop34.org/Files/Kno...rmans_knot.htm for tying a fisherman's knot.

I found these links to be quite helpful.
