For cave diving, when not in use the compass is in your wetnotes in your
drysuit pocket. When you need it, you take the wetnotes out of your
drysuit pocket. Typically, the compass is attached to your wetnotes with
rubber bands. This is the way that I survey, while scootering.
Open the wetnotes to the compass, so that the wetnote covers touch,
write the survery on side, read the compass on the otherside.
You don't want to depend on a lanyard. BTW, you need to replace the
rubberbands frequently.

> DIR calls for using the minimum equipment necessary to do the dive.  But what
if the minimum required equipment includes a compass?  Would carrying a small
console with a compass and pressure gauge be considered "DIR" for this dive? 
Or would the proper c> onfiguration call for wearing the compass on the wrist? 
Dangling from a 3' lanyard, maybe?
