How do you carry your PLB?

@Dan_T posted a bunch of pics. I took his lead and purchased both the camera casing, as well as the soft phone case. With the soft phone case you can see he had an issue with the pressure at depth turning it on. I don't dive deep, not much more than 70-80 and that only rarely so I am comfortable with the soft case. I did put a felt cushion on the flap that acts as a guard against inadvertent activation so if I am deep it will not flex enough to activate. His post revealed that once ascended, the pressure was relieved and it turned off. I put the plb in the soft case, then that soft case into my nautilus holder for protection. It went thru a 6 day dive vacation dry and without any issues.

The camera case is just to bulky for me, I dont know where to attach all this stuff so it just sits high and dry on a shelf. If I ever start deep diving, then I will use that case.

hope this helps. I know I feel safer just having it. It's just insurance after all.
