I just received 2 of the Narked@90 bungee adapters from @Dive Right In Scuba. One for each of my Terics.
Teric Bungee Mount
There were no directions included, so I rigged it how it seemed to make sense to me.
I kept it as one long piece of bungee. But, the two knots in the middle section will ensure that if the bungee breaks anywhere, there will still be at least one piece of bungee holding it all on. And, having the bungee looped through under the back of the Teric ensures that if I break one strap pin, the computer will stay attached.
I haven't trimmed the bungee or burned the ends yet, since I'm still fiddling with the exact setup. Thus, the one long end sticking out.
It's all cool except for one thing. This bungee is pretty stretchy - when you're talking about 1 length. When you're stretching 4 lengths of it, it's pretty stiff. I set it up so that it is just snug over my bare arm, just a little up from my wrist. It's pretty stiff to stretch the bungees enough to slip over my hand. I haven't tried it yet, but I am afraid that trying to stretch it enough to get it on over my Kubi dry glove rings is going to be very tough. And, once on, it might squeeze my arm too tightly with my drysuit and a thick undergarment on.
I'm going to try it, but I have 2 alternatives I will try if I'm right about it being too tight as is.
One, it might work to leave the bungee loose enough to be comfy over a drysuit sleeve and then simply pull the ends of the bungee to tighten it up over a wetsuit or bare arm. I *think* that pulling it and then doubling it back and tucking it under itself, the friction of wrapping around and through the bungee adapter might be enough to keep it from coming loose on its own.
Or, two, I might swap to surgical tubing instead of bungee. I think that would be more stretchy, at the expense of needing to be replaced every so often. It also might work even better as far as pulling it tight and then doubling it back and tucking it under itself.
Other suggestions on rigging are welcome.
