Attaching Dive Computer to BC

I am a newbie and have a question on attaching my Sherwood dive computer with compass to my BC. Please see link to a picture of the dive computer. What can I use to attach this to my Seaquest Balance BC, so I can pull the computer out when I want to use the computer or compass. Thanks, Ronnie

You can always use a clip/bolt snap tied to those loops on the console and then clipping the unit to your jacket's d-rings

I use a Conso-hold , works great!

tie wrap the cosole and attach a double ender or one ender, now you can clip to your bc

So do I. Only minor problem is, the bungee covered with the rubber sleeve is much too long as it is, and the console really dangles.

I cut off the rubber sleeve, cinch the toggle so the bungee is as short as it will go, and tie several knots behind the toggle to keep the bungee from loosening.

I attach the bungee to the hose, right where the console boot starts. I can see the gauges just fine by just glancing down. If you have a console with gauges on both sides, you can still rotate the console around.

The quick release allows me to unclip the console when I need to use the compass.

Of course, a bolt-snap would pretty much do the same thing, like Tamas and Spoon say...

Get a small retractor and attach it that way. I use one I got from trident. Keeps the whole thing very stream lined

And would probably be the quickest, easiest and cheapest solution of them all.

My brother uses a Wisdom and he has a retractor that clips to the BC and the console on the other end. I dont know the brand retractor, but it wasnt very expensive.

Don't buy or use brass bolt snaps becaue they WILL cut you. Use only SS ones.
