We tested the Innovative Scuba Fin & Mask Holder. Handy, simple and inexpensive, it was our Best Buy for accessories.

We tested the fin & mask holder during regular ScubaLab test dives dives as well as staff dive travel, where divers rated it in four different categories to evaluate whether or not it makes diving more comfortable or convenient.

Designed to free your hands while carrying mask and fins, this holder is basically 2 loops of 1-inch nylon webbing with buckles with a clip to attach it to your BC. A simple thing, but one that proved handy enough on our shore dives that test divers tended to hold onto it for rather extended testing, prompting others to ask pointedly when it would be their turn to try it. “What a great idea,” wrote one test diver. “So simple, but a game changer,” noted another. It’s available with a gate clip or snap bolt, in a choice of 10 colors. One downside testers noted during diving is that it is just one more thing to dangle from your BC, but testers with pockets can easily stow it when not in use. Test divers found it especially handy when navigating stairs or ladders or toting a larger camera rig. The Innovative Scuba Mask & Fin Holder is our Best Buy for accessories.
