Equipment Dive Knife in an emergency

[ImpotentSeaSnake]

Where do you keep a line cutter like the Aqualung Micro Squeeze? I am right handed and have my SPG console on the right side (because or air integration on left) and I keep my DSMB in my right BCD pocket for convention.

Put it on our chest strap so you can easily reach it with either hand.

Some countries don't allow you to carry dive knives.

What countries are those?

You are not allowed to carry dive knives in the Cozumel Marine Park unless you are a professional diver. Just saying. I'm not taking a stance on this, I'm just reporting the regulation. And as an aside, I found a dive knife in its leather sheath at the bottom at a dive in Koh Tao. The DM said he was going to sharpen it back up and keep it.

I misinterpreted your first comment. When you said "countries" I thought you actually meant "countries." But what you apparently mean is "locations" or "dive sites" There is a quarry in Virginia that does not allow dive knives, but I would not say that the United States disallows dive knives.

Why would a quarry not allow a dive knife? That seems silly.

Because some idiot divers were carving their initials into the dock.
We are our own worst enemies.

It’s just a quarry not an archeological site… what’s the big deal? Won’t hurt to see an “Archie Loves Betty” style graffiti with a heart sign somewhere underwater … I might just gag with mirth on my regulator if I ever see such a thing …

May your wishes come true.

A serrated knife is the idea tool for spreading cream cheese on crackers after the dive.

That's disgusting and you should be ashamed for even saying it! Cream cheese? Yuch! Peanut Butter is the only thing smeared on crackers by the serrated edges on my my RBFK. (That's R for Really) Did you throw the dive knife away afterwards? Yech. Cream cheese is nasty! Enemy divers, Great White Sharks and Peanut Butter are the only things getting smeared on my RBFK knife serrations.

I put mine on my waist band. Easily accessible with either hand.
