Home made Muck Stick!

A helpful tool during diving. Dubbed as the "muck stick" because it helps divers to balance during photography. It is can also be a life saving tool in case there is strong current. However muck stick got it's name from muck diving which means scuba diving on barren bottom. A retail purchase of this product can cost up to forty ringgit! Yeh, just for a piece of stick.

Anyway, I decided to make one with a buddy's help. He got the metal rod and I found the lash and lock. Total cost was more than 50% less than retail. All it needed was a bit of time and patience to find the materials from stationery shops and metal workshops. I am proud to say, it is quite a successful project afterall. Finally, MikeTan & JoeWong muck stick project complete and now on to UAT this coming Nov 11th to 12th.
