My preference is to not clip the SPG to my left hip or chest D-rings. I prefer to tuck the SPG on a long hose into my butt crack. That's right, between my legs, in the butt crack, which cradles the thing nicely, and I know where it is at all times by feel. I often have to reach for the SPG (which is mounted to a console, that has a compass, knife, scissors, computer, slate, depth gauge, pencil) mainly to read my compass. My usual diving is in freshwater lakes in Wisconsin, with poor visibility (yesterday vis was 3 feet in Lake Mendota, Madison, WI) and I rely on my compass for underwater navigation on a regular basis. Looking at some of the other postings on icy water diving, it appears that more than one system works for different people. And isn't that what diving is about, using what works best for you. One final opinion, regarding dry gloves. I have used the Viking cuff ring system for years, with over 200 dives using the 5-finger latex gloves. The times I have had a substan- tial leak are so few, that I strongly recommend it to others. Viking does not pay me to say this. Safe diving, everyone. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
