How to clip/retract my computer

[gtjason2000]

I have the aeris atmos 2
http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detai...D=Atmos22Gauge
with the compass and knife on the back so I have no where to attach a clip. The only thing I can think of is to put a key ring or carabiner on the hose and attach a clip/retractor to that.

How I do mine is I have one of the split rings going to a male clip: http://scubatoys.com/store/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=QRBSP8 and I thread the split ring onto one of those posts that go from the gauge part - up to the computer part... Where that hole is on each side in the middle there. Then I have a female clip on my BC and I just snap it up.

As another note - you can choose which side you want to thread. If you do it on the right side of the gauge (as your looking at it) then the console will hang with gauges out, and you can just tilt it to see without having to unclip. But if you are doing a lot of diving in conditions where it might get scratched up, you can run the split ring on the left side, and then the gauge will have a tendency of hanging with the gauges toward you which, while less convenient, will protect them better. But I do the first way..

I use something like this

on the post on the gauges and attach it to a chest d-ring.

Dude, see those "holes" on the top and side of the console? Those are perfect for putting a clip on.

Now do one with a SS double ender.

I have this retractor:

Instead of threading the keyring, I use a zip tie. Same application, but it reduces the length from BC to guage by just over an inch, and takes out some of the flop.

Not sure how easy it is to get the snap on that area... easy to do in photoshop! Just don't know in real life - but I'll check it out later today when I get to the shop.

I thought of putting it on the side but those side posts are a rubbery plastic not a hard plastic and I fear that too much stress would rip it.

If you are putting that much stress on the console, you probably have something else going on that you need to worry about.

Seriously, I connect mine the same way and have for several years. Also, it isn't like you will lose the console even if that post were to break.
