new diver seeks advice; Divecomp wrist-strap way too long

[ddavid]

hi folks, first off, my apologies if this same question has been asked before, i tried searching via the "Search" box but couldn't find a similar post, here's my query in summary;
I got a Uwatec Aladin Prime last weekend; nice comp, but the rubber wrist strap it comes with is way too long..! I'm 6ft 1in with average sized hands, but even when i wear it higher up my arm its still too much rubber flapping around.. any suggestions/recommendations on what my options are? Thanks much.. - ddavid

Loop the strap back through the retainer.

Trim it off to 2"-3" long. The extra rubber is to grip with cold hands. Even Popeye had to cut some off...I believe it's long for the Wetsuit or Drysuits of Quarter inch or wetsuits with Gloves. Trim for the biggest wrist that is going to use the computer/Watch.........Bill
