Hey Art,

To my knowledge there are about three different locking setups. First is the
swivel that you wrote about, and if you get one from a quality manufacturer
there is little or no space between the lock and the carabiner so there
should not be a major problem with sand or debris. The second is a snap type
where the locking mechanism is secured by a dime sized button (great for
climbing but pretty difficult with 7 mil gloves on) and the last one has
sort of like a slide lock through the opening device to keep it from coming
open( its called an autolock).  Ive never tried the last one with my scuba
gear but it does seem to be very secure on land. Ill enclose a link to a web
page so that you can look at what I'm referring to. 

Here is the Link
