Pocket Pool...

Recently, on my better dry suit, Steve G put a flat pocket on the front of my left leg and a cargo on the side of my right leg, slightly angled in. Since I sidemount often, I can get to my wetnotes (or dive tables) easier with the flat pocket in front. No tanks or stages in the way. Not much room in the flat pocket for anything else though... I can get lots of 'stuff' in the cargo pocket... all of which is clipped in some way to a bungee. Overall, I'm pleased with the placement of the pockets.

Again, Thanks to ALL for the thoughtful comments...

tj,

You make a good point here I must consider...with the exception of the Wet Notes, presumable anything else needed to nab DURING a Dive will be when the balloon goes up...the notes most often will be needed during normal dive Ops under good conditions...I'll consider a third pocket (flattie) on front thigh...

During my course, LG mentioned putting pockets slightly BACK (towards the tank) of thigh side centerline; comments?

Also, I carry a spare mask...do y'all run a double-ender thru the strap and affix it to the loop in the pocket?
