Anyway, I found the perfect item, and it's inexpensive. Get some "Silicone Magnetic Cable Ties"
Share some pictures when you do, I'd love to see uses out in the wild!Assuming I am comfortable with them upon receipt tomorrow, with these breakaways I'll boltsnap all regs since they can be actually secured reliably and easily released, via unclipping for routine use, or a pull in an emergency.
Not yet. The magnets are coated inside silicone, and theoretically shouldn't have any issues, unless there's a break in the silicone. If there is enough interest, I could mix up some water, and salt, and toss one of these magnets in there for a few days. Different brands may have variations in manufacture quality, or type of silicone used.Have you had them in salt water for any period of time? I have had corrosion problems with permanent magnets that were not hermetically sealed.
Feel free to ask question here as well, including about the off-the-shelf ones. I've tried a good number of the regulator/hose/etc retainers on the market.I've been looking at different retaining options for my octopus, lots of great suggestions and links in this thread for me to dig into more, thanks!
When I dived a traditional 2nd, I liked the Scubapro retainer
