Coiled Quick Release Lanyard
COMPANY : LOMO WATERSPORTS TEL : 0141 221 7674 PRICE : £ 7 WEB : WWW . LOMO . CO . UK
Ten pounds doesn ’ t buy you much these days , maybe a couple of gallons of petrol or perhaps a post-dive pint for you and your buddy . As far as useful dive kit is concerned then there ’ s very little on offer for that price . Lomo Watersports ’ nifty little Quick Release Lanyard is one
such exception and will even leave you with some change to jiggle in your pocket .
Unlike many products of this type which traditionally clip onto a d-ring , this extending lanyard features a neoprene wrist loop . It is very securely double-stitched to a piece of good , strong webbing , which in turn attaches to a plastic pinch-clip .
The opposite side of the clip houses a stainless-steel split ring , to which a variety of accessories may be mounted . While unsuited to a large housed camera system or heavy light , I found it perfectly adequate for a lightweight torch , compact or action camera . The coiled part of the lanyard stretches out to an impressive 1.2 metres . This also makes it a great option for trainers to mount cue cards to share with their students . When any particular exercise is over simply clip it up securely and move on with the dive . NH

Lomo ’ s pocket-money-priced coiled wrist lanyard keeps accessories close to hand and extends when you need them .

Fisheye T-Shirt
COMPANY : O ’ THREE TEL : 01305 822820 PRICE : £ 19.95 WEB : WWW . OTHREE . CO . UK
While O ’ Three are better known for their excellent range of drysuits , the company also have a small but attractive clothing range . From beanie and baseball caps to hoodies and t-shirts , each item has a design that looks just as good on the streets as it does on the dive site . Their ink-grey Fisheye T-Shirt features a discreet logo on the front left of the chest and a rather striking fishy graphic running the entire area from waist to shoulder on the rear . Available in six sizes from XS through to XXL , these unisex tees are equally suited from the petite to larger sizes . While the t-shirt looks and feels great to wear , those with an environmental conscience ( who doesn ’ t ?) will be pleased to discover that the Fisheye is manufactured solely using renewable green energy via wind and solar power . Endorsed by the Carbon Trust as carbon neutral and abiding by the Fair Wear Foundation ’ s CoLP ( Code of Labour Practices ) should also leave you sleeping ( the t-shirt also makes great bedtime attire ) soundly .
