Does anybody here dive with the Aquatec Mask Pocket?
https://www.divelife.co.uk/scuba-manufacturers/Aqua-Tec/3129/Aquatec-Mask-Pouch

Do you use it purely to keep a spare mask?
Could it fit a spare reel? or small safety stop reel/dsmb aswell; would it even be advisable to complicate/overfill the content of a small pocket this way?
When rigged on the waist band what do you use as a keeper?
Could it be used reliably to hook the long hose (like a canister light); at present I tuck my hose.

I ask as an option for warm water single tank backpacking/diving to keep travel weight/space down and dive gear minimal.
For shallower, warm, less stressful diving;
I figured my spare mask was probably adequate for accessories/spares.
-Small knife on waist band, wrist slate/computer/compass.
--Not sure what to do about my snips...
-Pocket mask can remain on the dive boat/shore (I may not even take it)
-Wetnotes not required
-Spare spool/reel.... well my buddy will have one. I will have one (hoping I could fit one in the pocket)
-Torch on each shoulder strap
-Not fussed about a glow stick for a night dive as long as I look after the torches

I have tried the DiveRite suspender style thigh pocket and struggled to keep it in place to the side, as it wanted to twist onto the front of my thigh. I have also now lost part of the clip mechanism anyways so probably won't be using it any more.

Thanks, Nic
