What's in your thigh pocket and where?

[mablasinski]

Dive Reels - Reel Parts - Stainless Steel Reel Thumbscrews - Northeast Scuba Supply

That's what I'm calling the reel break (so, a screw if you'd rather call it that).

oh those guys. aren't the ones in the halcyon reels bent or something so they can't come unscrewed?

They're punched in the threads on the "inside" of the handle - it "buggers up" the thread so it can't unscrew.

heh, it's called "self locking", but "buggers up" works, I suppose.

Back on topic -

Right pocket: emergency gear such as spare air, extra wireless transmitters, snorkel and capital one credit card. I put those in the right because it's easy to reach.
Left pocket: empty in case I find anything cool.

It's easy to remember this way: "right reach, left left-empty"

or this

Well uhm, where do you put your PADI wheel? Do you clip it with a retractor next to your octo so you can check your NDL on the fly?

Good one

I keep the latest issue of sDIVER (see below) in my left pocket so I can read it in case I get bored waiting to oxtox/go OOG

 

[LiteHedded]

I keep my (autographed) issue of smugdiver in a food tube so it doesn't get wet
