Whilst I hate to halt the degenerative slide of this topic ...

Over this side of the world you can get a thing called an "Aqua Slate"
(I think) which is a slate with a large plastic pencil attached - designed
just for divers.
Inside it has a large graphite core (about 6mm) which is probably
just one of those woodless pencils mentioned earlier. It telescopes
out to give more lead as it wears. I have used one for a year and
never had to sharpen it.

The overall pencil is about the dimension of a whiteboard
marker so is good for use with gloves on.

If anybody is interested I could get the distributor details,
I think it is made in Australia.

Just one problem, it is slightly positive so would need
correct weighting for serious divers.

Guy.
