Cave Adventurers - Dive Rite Thigh Pocket with Daisy Chain - Marianna, Florida USA - Never Undersold!
I'm a huge fan of that one. It has a unique webbing that sticks to your exposure suit so it stays in place pretty well. You can rotate it to whatever position you want/need, and it unclips quite easily if you need it to. I.e. you have a bunch of stuff you need for the big part of the dive, but you are about to go into a tight squeeze, so you can drop that pocket off by strapping it around a stage bottle, go do the squeeze, and can come back to it.
Going off of GUE's pocket contents
Left pocket- extra double enders, stage leash, trauma shears, spool, light
Right pocket-spare mask, safety reel, wet notes, etc etc.
My pocket has the extra double enders, stage leash, trauma sheers, spool/SMB if I'm carrying one, backup light, and wet notes. I have no problem doffing any of those items because on my rig I have all of the spools/reels I'm planning for, my cookie leash, and everything else is stowed. I have cutting devices elsewhere, and don't carry a wrench or backup mask. To be completely honest, I don't carry that pocket on every dive, only on the big ones where I would need that amount of stuff with me. Normal 2 ish hour dives, I can get everything I actually NEED on my harness with the exception of wet notes, but my wrist slate is good enough for those kinds of dives.
