Dive Slates

[junior diver]

I found an old keyboard. I took the back off, cut it in half and stuck it back to back, voila, a dual sided slate. I then drilled two holes, one to attach to my BCD and one to attach a pencil, I used that curly wire what phones have when they are not wireless.

BuoyantC made me a wrist slate made out of white vinyl siding. He cut it to wrist size and drilled two holes in it. He ran rubber tubing thru the holes. Tied a knot in one end and slide a golf pencil on the other. I slide my wrist thru the loop and pull the pencil end to tighten. Works better then my regular slates.

The DuraRite notebooks from Rite-In-the-Rain are totally waterproof plastic sheets and extended submersion doesn't affect it at all. The rite-in-the-rain paper is waterproofed paper, but get a more limp after being wet for a long time.

Neat. Has anyone else used these? I especially like the looks of the hip notebook (4x6", polyethylene cover, wire bound, 50 lf giving 100pp). Before I order a bunch o' notebooks, I'm just wondering if any of you have submerged these for a long time, pencil works on them well, etc.

Fish cutting boards from Wal MArt work well.
