Fantastic way of running the bungees. It places the compass right where it is best to navigate with.Thanks for taking the time to send pictures for us.Nice tattoo by the way.I'm jealous.I'm so old now that my Eagle has lost his feathers and my parachute has collapsed.

Yes, if you lace it exactly as I have done when diving in trim parachute position linking hands the lubber line points in direction of travel without requiring any position change i.e it's always pointing straight ahead. I much prefer it to wrist mount it allows me to see computer and compass simultaneously. In the age department I'm probably not too far behind my head has lost its hair and my skin is collapsing

Is there a reason why you wear it on your right rather than your left, or is it just because when you are in horizontal position your right hand is on top? I have been wearing mine on a bungee mount on my left wrist but have a hard time getting my arm across my body so the lubber line is lined up with my centerline, so I think I might want to try your methodology, but was curious about L v. R.
I don't know about buddhasummer, but my reasoning is like this:
I wear my primary computer on my right wrist, so I can see my depth while using my left hand to operate my inflator (or butt dump).
I want to be able to see my computer and compass at the same time.
So, I would wear the compass on the right side, too (when I wear one, versus relying on my Petrel 2 compass).

This method looks amazing, I'm going to try it out this weekend.
When you dive it this way with a drysuit, does it interfere with your wrist ring system? I don't have dry gloves but my drysuit has ZipSeals so I'm thinking the rear bungee might go across the hard plastic of the ring and not be quite as stable. I guess you could wear it right at the base of the hand .i.e. in front of the Zipseal ring - what do you do?
