Dive Rite Slate Wrist with Pencil

The Dive Rite Slate is a simple but extremely useful piece of dive gear that earns its place on every dive. It’s well-built, easy to read underwater, and holds up perfectly in both salt and fresh water. The writing surface is smooth, and the carbon stick pencil works reliably without smearing. What really makes this slate valuable is the convenience it adds during a dive. Being able to quickly note directions, headings, or brief messages for my dive buddy improves communication and situational awareness without breaking focus. Whether it’s marking a turn point, confirming a plan, or sharing quick observations, it does exactly what it’s meant to do—clearly and efficiently. This is one of those tools you don’t think much about until you need it, and then you’re glad it’s there. For divers who value clear communication and organization underwater, the Dive Rite Slate is a dependable and practical choice with an unbeatable price point.

Bought this for a notepad while running. I'm a big fan of how easy it is to modify, and it's comfortable even after a couple hours of sweating all over it. The pencil has no trouble working no matter how messy I've gotten everything. Solid buy.

It is better than we expected. Very good quality of materials. It will come to great use.

Great wrist slate, best I have owned to date, simple yet functional. I'll list the Pros and Cons Pros: great price, good graphite pencil, no fancy hing gadget just simple bungee cord makes for easy repair if needed, fits arm contour well Cons: the Velcro arm/wrist strap is pretty crappy I removed it and replaced it with 2 small bungee cords so it'll fit whether I'm wearing a reef or dry suit, the cap that holds the nice pencil to the bungee doesn't hold the pencil well I pulled mine off squeezed some epoxy in it and it holds great now Overall I am pleased and would recommend, however it is not "one size fits all" I'm sure you'll doe some upgrades to it but for the price you really can't complain

Write your heading for navigation, important times, or the pressure to turn the dive at. Easy to read even in low light. But beyond that... SCUBA + "sign language" = I feel dumb. I hate when my fellow divers try to say something beyond "Are you OK?" or "how much air" I'm always left scrambling for their meaning. With this, I can pass them the pencil and they can write their concern clearly instead of hopelessly waving their hands in front of this fool. Also, with the extra pages, you can preload a couple of jokes. Careful of your victim though, they might spit their reg. ;^}

Only issue is that the pencil was snapped on arrival. Easy fix, works great, everybody in the group wants one.

Perfect. You have 6 writing surfaces. The pencil that comes with it seems to be a little bit below par but other wise a good pencil. Comes with a wrist velcro band and 2 bungees that you can use. I use mine for taking notes underwater or giving instructions.

The pen dropped out of it during first dive, probably I got hooked behind it when adjusting my BCD. Disappointed. Otherwise great to have some panels on your arm to work with.
