Re: Question on your dive stick

the good part is these sticks are cheap - usually $10.   My wife has lost a few.

Simplest retainer would be to add a dogclip to the hand loop.   Attach to a d-ring.  You don't really need to be able to see it - just run your hand up/down the strap to the d-ring.   But get a big enough opening that it's not hard to clip or unclip.

Next option is the coiled lanyard or the box with the wound up bungie cord inside.  They generally don't have enough extension to clip to BC, but perhaps if you get one meant for a camera rig.   The other method could be to fix it to the bottom corner of the housing tray.   Fanciest would be to craft a sheath into the bottom so you could pull it out on need like a knife.

I'd probably go the simplest round with the dogclip, as I'd probably only occasionally pull it out.
