What event made you head toward/away from DIR?

[scubert]

Last I read DIR had not addressed the basics of camera attachment, but we can deduct from their general guidelines a few things.

1) shouldn't be a metal to metal attachment.

2) should be easy access but stowed in the slipstream already created by shoulders.

3) shouldn't dangle or be a snag hazard.

When my camera was working ( a WHOLE other story) I had it weighted to neutral and double-ender clipped on a short leash to my right chest D-Ring.
This way it would glide into the area between my arm and chest when not in use, wouldn't mash any coral or snag anything, and be easy to unclip and hand up when getting back into a boat.  I didn't however have multiple strobe arms to contend with, so YMMV.
