Since I always dive with a camera rig, I'm thinking of putting the D5 on a strobe arm. But then I (may?) have issues with it sitting in a rinse tank and not knowing I'm on a surface interval?

I don't have a D5 (my computer is an Aeris Elite T3), but dive computers detect the start/end of a dive by pressure, not by moisture, so unless the rinse tank is like six feet deep, it won't be a problem.

What do you guys do with your wrist computers at the end of a dive?

On a day boat, where I don't remove my wetsuit between dives, it stays on my wrist. On a liveaboard, I take it off my wrist and put the band around the camera carrying handle, then rinse the whole thing.
