The bungee is better than the pre-fabbed ones or the surgical tubing. The prefab ones are too lose at the mouth piece IMO. I bought one and threw it in my save a dive.

The way you make them with surgical tubing to take a length (whatever is comfortable) lap the ends. Use 2 zip ties so you end up with what looks like a pair of lips and slip your mouth piece between the lips.

With the bungee you kind of do the same to make the lips, but instead of zip ties, you make two knots. The knots will slip a little to tighten up the necklace around the mouth piece.


Here is Gombessa's method.

Diving sucks. Don't try it.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
HELP SUDS and Wounded Soldiers learn to DIVE!
