I have had alot of questions regarding this so after a long day, I got the camera together and shot a quick vid. Dont make fun of my acting skillz....I had to crouch to fit in the frame as Im a bit tall :D

All was off the cuff and just threw some stuff in the pockets, there was still room for more if you needed to add more stuff. I didnt pack it the best either, just kind of stuffed it all in there :D
 
Neatly done, but I'd be much more interested in seeing it done with someone IN the suit, using up some of the slack.
 
Geeeez Lynne....now I have to.....lol...no problem. I will do it on Tuesday. I will be doing some dives in a new crystal clear quarry we are looking at acquiring and diving...I will load up :wink:
 
I have found that over packing the pockets with hard items like spools or a mask+ other stuff tends to be some what uncomfortable and with drygloves the smaller objects are harder to manage. I haven't had that much stuff, in the pocket, when wearing the mk3 undergarments but with the mk2 on I notice things poking my leg after a while because of the elasticness of the pockets.

I'm not saying this is a terrible thing I just had to figure out a little different way of organizing stuff.


My normal contents for an open water dive is simply a 6ft marker buoy or lift bag in one pocket and my backup mask in the opposite pocket. I always clip my spools off to the butt D-ring so I can sit on them and break them like I did on my last day of diving :-(

Steve B posted on CDF about something he uses for sidemount diving and since I'm getting into sidemount quite a bit now I adopted the idea.

When I want to carry anything smaller it goes into a 2 zipper pocket (DR) that has a grommet in the bottom corner and a bolt snap tied through the grommet. This pocket gets clipped off to the Butt D-ring also. In cold water its easier to manipulate the smaller items when I can see them so this has so far worked very well for me.

Here are some photos of what I carried last weekend on the dives:

Trying to fish for these items in a drysuit pocket with drygloves on would be a PITA.
