From cannister lights, dive watches to computers the goody dag you never leave.
just look around you almost half of the gear you now use is either too tall or too fat and not flush to your boddy.
which present drag. for years now we have seen manufacturers say its the newest thing for me its still too tall or too fat. when will they get it right?
imagin this at walking speed in air the drag of a dive computer is negligible at 7kph.
do that with a moving car at x20 the speed thats 140khp. and your wrist would weigh a tone.
now that in seawater which 800x and your wrist will sruely weigh a tone.
for other divers this may seem trivial, but try drift diving and descending through the anchor line with a mask ripping current then you realise in mid water that things do weigh a tone.
and when will the manufacturers take note.:coffee:
 
:popcorn:
 
a show of hands woud be nice, so that the gear makers would do a better job of making our equips. and not just the run if the mill huge honcking gear.
oh its big and so on. he he he
