wouldn't bungee cord be better? Surgical tubing will rot with sunlight, and salt water exposure, won't it?

Found this place online: http://www.4fishin.com/surgical_tubing.htm

1/4" ID X 3/8" OD LATEX SURGICAL TUBING 10'

in Red, Black, Green, White, Natural Amber, Flourescent Red, Green and Yellow!

That should give you plenty of choices.

I'f your LDS sells spear-fishing stuff, the "bungee" from a spear pole will work well also (in use on my kit). They are sold separately, you don't have to buy the whole spear/pole setup

Depending on your needs I would suggest the following.
Tuckers dive shop – http://www.tuckersdiveshop.com/
They usually stocks surgical tubing and other technical diving needs such as reels, stainless steel and brass clips. Plus, they could help with attaching your necklace or if have any questions. Bring in your regulators and I am sure they will help you with it.

use bungee, it lasts alot longer. Go to Lowe's or HD and get some of the tie-downs that are bungee with a blue ball on the end, cut at the ball and VIOLA you have a bungee just the right length. Attach with a zip tie. Put the bungee between the zip and mouthpiece and cinch it down. It'll pull out with a good yank if you ever need to get out of it fast.

The tie downs come in a jug with 8-10, they are handy for all sorts of stuff (unlike a roll of tubing)
