Why not make your sling. It's pretty easy, and will save you a little over buying one. Here's a link for 1. You can also make 1 similar to the dive rite sling. I know ST sells the DR pony sling, but I couldn't find it on their website. I've made 2, and it takes about an hour. I made my own partly because I wanted to, and because I wanted something besides black.

Here's one of mine.


The only thing that was even semi difficult was sewing the webbing into a tube for the band clamp.


EDIT: Found the DR sling on ST's website. Here it is.

Please send me a list of supplies used and your instructions.

I love this setup.

Dive Rite Express sells 1inch tubular webbing. Fits perfect over the band clamp.

I got the webbing from HERE. Use 1" nylon webbing. Just select the color you want to use. I have used both their lighter webbing & the same thickness as on the above link for the tube. I recommend the same thickness.

I bought the clear tubing from a local hardware store. Just take the webbing with you to make sure you get a size that's large enough for the webbing to fit through. I don't recall the thickness....sorry.

You'll also need a stainless band clamp. I got mine from McMaster Carr. I'm pretty sure it's part number 5011T39. I know I got 316 stainless.

you can buy the bolt snaps & 1" belt slides from ST or most any scuba shop.

I bought the elastic hose retainers from Dive rite express.

I took the dimensions as far as lengths from the earlier post where you could make your own. The only problem is that unless you are doing several, then the multiple shipping can get expensive. But I usually place an order with McMaster Carr every few months, and I stop in ST a couple of times a year, so it wasn't an issue for me.

But not in blue . There are a few places I found that sell the tubular webbing. I didn't have them at the time I made my sling. I'll see what I can dig up.
