Emergency Pocket...Left or Right?
So this is not meant to start any kind of religious debate or anything, I'm just curious on the rationale for why people pick. Mine is as follows:
The left pocket is the utility pocket because my stages/deco bottles are on the left, so getting into it is more time consuming. In an emergency, I need my emergency stuff readily accessible, so that goes in my right pocket because my right side is clear of any obstructions.
What about you?
I'm the opposite. Right pocket has my reels and primary lift bag when not in cave
Left pocket has wet note. Spare mask
I do see ur point with accessibility though.
Not much in my pockets that cannot wait an extra minute or two though. So I opt for convenience by having all spools in right pocket as they are needed throughout the dive. This is also for consistency with buddies who been trained similarly
Just put your stuff in a pocket and get on with life.
Man Purse on the butt ring. Accessible with either hand.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
U mean a sachel? (Don't know the spelling)
Kind of a hard question to answer because I have things in either pocket that could or should be used in an emergency depending on the emergency.

I like it.
I'm right-hand dominant. As a result, I'm more comfortable having in my right side pocket only my safety spool and most reliable, and most useful, backup light in my right-side pocket. Also, I wear my primary lighthead on my left hand.
WOW a question that might get many different more answers then what have been said.
Um if you have 2 stages then both pockets are just as covered. I think it should be more of witch is your dominate hand Left or Right? What works for me might not for you. I een for got what about 3 stages or 4. It might take time in OW to keep playing around and work on it.
