From the "everything comes full circle" department...

The first dive scooter I ever rode was a Tekna DV-3X, in 1987 in the Bahamas. It had a compass and a depth gauge mounted on the top of the shroud.

Tuesday while I was scootering in JB, I noticed I had mounted my NiTek HE a little higher on my wrist, so that it was a strain to read it - I had to push my elbow out and could barely read the bottom time.

Has anyone mounted their dive computer on their cave scooter? I thought it would be easy to make a bracket and mount it next to the handle, and it would be right there in front of my face. Of course, I would probably then become the total lazy diver and get my open-water computer with the transmitter and mount it next to the HE so I could read my cylinder pressure just as easily.

Or maybe get totally into it and get one of those computers that can use three different transmitters, for backgas and two different stages...

Somebody please stop me.

Just wait it gets worse. My arms are becoming to short to read anything. Suggest contacts.

As for mounting the puter to the scooter. What would you do everytime you clipped it off to swim a side passage?

What is this "swim" you speak of?

Dive X-tras has a mount that will hold a compass and/or a bottom timer. We have compasses mounted on ours -- MUCH easier than navigating by wrist compass while using a scooter.

Put the compass on the other wrist?????

How often do you check your computer during the dive?

[Sludge]

About as often as I look at my spg.

I know you are using the dive abacus with optional trimix sliderule.

I was cleaning out a drawer of stuff a few weeks ago and found my old slide rule. However, being old enough to own a slide rule, I couldn't remember how to use it.
