I know there’s a lot of personal preference involved, but why wear your computer on your left arm. I have always followed the model that the left side is occupied during ascents and descents and so the computer is easier to monitor on the right side. Is there an argument for wearing it on the left?

[@cyborgpirate5882]

Brandon, many reasons to wear the computer on the left. First the rebreather (ccr) manufacturers usually put the controller computer for the unit on the left. Your dive light is mounted on your left hand so you can also see the computer with the arm already extended to the front of you utilizing light. Power inflator on the left. As you are venting the wing or drysuit the computer is right next your face, great opportunity to view the information on the computer, most people are right handed and wear a watch on their left. Standard muscle memory, most people are again right handed so anything they pick up, point to, grab on maneuver all done with the right hand. Keeps left hand free to use, power inflator, illumination with light, and rotate to dump wing and drysuit gas. Now let’s get into the technical side of diving. 1 all tech divers should be diving with a minimum of 2 computers. So one worn on each wrist. I personally dive with 3-4 (ccr controller, 2 back up independent computers, and if diving with open circuit buddies a 4th set to OC with the gasses they are breathing so in the event of an emergency. I have a good idea of their dive profile and can assist them to the surface based on their profile) so NERD on my ccr, one computer on each wrist, and one clipped off in my pocket. The right side of the diver is designed for emergency gear. Right pockets etc. having that side clear with nothing I the way to access emergency gear quickly and efficiently. This also keeps my left hand with my primary computer free and in my line of sight, regardless of what my right hand is doing. Assisting an injured or unconscious diver to the surface you are venting their wing of gas on the assent, my left hand is holding their power inflator on in my left hand, up To vent it. Also right in my line of sight to keep a safe controlled slow ascent. So to answer your question. Yes it’s a personal preference which side you wear the computer on. However the correct way you should have been taught day 1 is primary computer and primary light on left side.

I have similar boots on my dry suit however I really struggle to fining. I don't have a feed back. However it does improve at depth. Anyone has an idea how to sort this out? Thanks

[@cyborgpirate5882]

What type fins are you using? How much air are you getting in legs and feet?

[@NarceDiver]

@@cyborgpirate5882 I'm using mares superchannel, so you think I get too much air in the feet?
