So my wife and I just did a dive in Maldives where we could have used some reef hooks. In researching to purchase some, we see doubles and singles but no dual singles. Any reason? Why couldn't we make a dual single (for portability and hooking angle variability plus the benefit of dual hook fixation)? Also we were thinking of making some w straps instead of cord (the ones used for portable hammocks) that way we can adjust the length. Also what if we used titanium instead of SS? Has anyone used cobalt chrome in seawater?

Anyone have any input on these ideas?

Thx

A scuba bag? Or something off the shelf?

I found it on Amazon. The zipper opens it on 3 sides so it can lay flat. I cut off the label but I think it was made for camping or climbing.

Here is a photo of my neighbor's reef hook from Fish 'n Fins in Palau. There is mesh on one side and a Velcro flap closure.

There is plenty of rubbish webbing out there,

Most local hardware stores in the US sell webbing by the foot, off a roll. It is less common in the big box home centers.
