Is there anyone aboard SB that has only one-arm? Left or right, doesn't matter. I lost my left arm back in '90. Being I'm really new to diving (10 dives) and not much time (right now) to do any extra dives, I was wondering how one might have their equipment setup.
I currently have my SPG and oct and primary all on my right side. (Being I have my right arm.) It helps to with my SPG so I don't have to try to "reach" all the way across my front to grab it and try to read it. With the the SPG on my right and clipped to my BC, I can easily grab it and look at what I need without it unclipping from my BC. My Octo is clipped to my harness strap on my chest so I can have quickly grab it and hand it off or grab it for myself if my primary fails.
I've looked and studied different photos and people (SBM, SeaYoda, and others) when we went diving to see how their setup was/is. Just seeing the little things that they have setup to make things easier. One thing I noticed on SBM, he has his SPG starpped "across" his chest. I assume for a quick glance down, without having to use his hands, which keeps them free for a camera and/or spear gun. I thought about trying that, but I just recently bought a VT3. Being wireless, I well have it strapped to my BC harness on a retracter.
If there are people on SB that are missing an arm, please post your setup and if you can, provide pictures. I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll don my equipment one day soon and post the pictures to show my current setup.
Thanks all,
Michael
