Lanyards

Lanyards and straps for securing underwater camera equipment

Lanyards connect camera systems directly to a diver. They prevent loss while allowing hands-free use during ascents, safety stops, or other underwater tasks.

Available types include spiral cords, retractors, and buoyant float straps. Each option keeps gear safe without restricting movement or accessibility underwater.

Key functions of lanyards for divers

Lanyards improve security and flexibility when using underwater imaging systems.

• Spiral cords extend and retract for easy handling
• Float straps add buoyancy to small cameras

Types of lanyards and their applications

Spiral cords stretch when needed and return compactly, keeping equipment close. Retractors use spring systems for controlled positioning and quick access.

Float straps are wrist-mounted with buoyancy, suited for compact or action cameras. Many divers use these lanyards together with underwater camera sets to ensure systems remain safe and easy to manage.

Practical advice for using lanyards underwater

Lanyards provide security without reducing mobility. Always attach a camera system to a strap so it can be released temporarily without risk of loss.

By choosing the right type, divers maintain safety while keeping their equipment ready for action at any moment.
