DIY reg necklace?

[Scubastud16]

Anyone got a plan for one? I'm into making my own stuff, and I've seen several people with home-made ones. Anyone got plans/links for me?

Thanks!

Simple. Get a peice of 5/16" or 1/4" bungie cord about 22" long or so a wire tie. Strap it on and your done.

What he said. Takes a matter of minutes to be done with this improvement and it's super reliable.

Do you guys reccomend putting it under the ziptie that holds the mouthpiece on?

Thanks

You could put it under the current zip tie, that is what I have done in the past.

No real way to get it up unfortunately

I prefer the double fisherman's knot method of tying it on.

In the event of a snag, I WANT the reg to be able to pull free. It's quite easy to re-insert the reg once free of the obstruction. And there is no chance of taking the mouthpiece off while trying to pull it free, unlike the zip tie methods.

If it is tied properly and snugged down tightly, it will not come free accidentally. And it will not pop off without noticing... it takes a notable effort to pull it clear.



Both of our local GUE instructors agree with this method.

Compudude, got any hints on how to tie that knot? I'm terrible with it. That was pretty much what I was looking for.

Thanks!
