Ken...that's why I use the one that has a heavy brass clip on one end. Those wimpy plastic clips don't last and aren't very dependable for anything of any weight.

Dee,
Yup, it was an expensive lesson, I just figured I might save someone else the heartache.

I used a locking retracting clip, one end had a key ring the other a bolting clip. I keep it attached to my BC, but I don't use it anymore, It gets in my way, the string gets tangled and I don't like the idea of my camera dangeling from my body.
I always put the housing neck strap around my neck and hold onto it with my hands. I've had to drop it a couple of times, but my chest cought it and everything was fine. It seems like the hoses keep it on my neck just fine.
Another thing to keep in mind, On a boat, you want to enter the water, then have someone hand you your camera. If you enter the water with the camera there is a chance the pressure can effect the O ring. Therefore you don't want something that is hard to get attach.

It sucks to learn stuff the hard way, doesn't it? Maybe someone will learn from our mistakes.

But sometimes those are the best lessons.
The nice thing was being in the Bahamas when it happened, hard to be too upset.
