Dive slate/pencil tether

[Deac in the Wake]

Anyone got a good DIY for a tether between a dive slate and the pencil stylus? I know many slates come with the pencil attached but I'm using an old one that doesn't have a tether and I can't find a tether listed as a separate accessory online.

It's not a big deal but better safe than losing a pencil at depth.

Look at the oms one, it is really durable, slips on the wrist and go from there. If the pencil dies, go to theart store and get a replacement, you can get a box for 10.00$ with about 20 pencils in it

Surgical tubing or a thin bungee cord with an alligator clip.

Just use a standard, normal piece of "cave" line (thin braided nylon string) and a piece of electronics heat shrink tubing over the pencil/line to bond the two permanently. Buy yourself a box of golf pencils and you're good to go.

Even Radio Shack still manages to carry heat shrink tubing, despite having changed to little more than a cell phone store these days...
