Suggestions for attaching a wrist computer to a BC

[Dr. Jay]

Anyone have any suggestions for attaching a wrist computer to a BC?

I've got an Aeris Savant computer and a Dacor Rig Pro BC (so there's no shortage of D-rings - but I'm sure there'll be some wisecracks about that :gjoker: )



Thanks

I'm sure there will be.

Have you considered a wrist mount for your computer? I don't think attaching it to your BC is such a hot idea. I've never even heard of anyone doing that. You are more likely to see and pay attention to your computer if it's on your wrist. You will probably forget that it is even there if you attatch it to your BC. Plus, it could fall off your BC and you would never know. If it's on your wrist, it's always in sight.

Yeah, you're probably right ElectricZombie.

It just seemed like it got in the way a little on my wrist, depending on what I was doing.

I've heard of some people taking the bands off somehow and mounting it. I also figured it would get in the way more if I was taking the BC on and off (which I don't plan to get in the habit of just yet).

Do a lot of cave/wreck divers use the wrist computers? And if so, how do they contend with it being yanked when the BC comes off?

Maybe a small retractor or clip or something would be a good way to attach? :think:

Generally no. If so, they usually only use them as bottom timers and depth gauges. They use other dive planning means.

I wear a computer/bottom timer on my right wrist and a compass on my left. I take my BC off under water and on the surface all the time without getting hung up in it.

I would just use the strap that came with your computer or make a strap out of bungee cord and leave it on your right wrist.

Thanks for the advice!

I guess it defeats the purpose of having a wrist computer if it's on the BC. :bonk:

I have the Uwatec Smart Pro and it comes with a triangular attaching piece that mounts to the computer. You take the wrist strap off and one side of the mounting tirangle fits where a strap end would go. Now you can use a retractable line and mount to your BC.

I haven't done this as I don't see the purpose and I really like it on my wrist.
