Product Information
The DiveCatalog Quick Release Coil Lanyard with Buckle is a coiled retaining lanyard that tethers dive equipment to a BCD or harness, with a mid-line quick-release buckle that lets the attached item be separated with one hand. The coiled cord extends when you use the item and recoils back toward the body, and it is offered in black and blue.
Who it is for
It suits any diver who carries hand-held gear and does not want to drop it: underwater photographers passing a camera to a buddy, divers handing a light or housing up to a boat, and anyone clipping off accessories on a BCD D-ring or harness webbing. Because the buckle splits in the middle, the item can be released without unclipping the whole lanyard from the harness.
Key details
- Coiled cord design that extends for use and recoils to keep gear close to the body.
- Mid-line quick-release buckle for one-handed separation of the attached item.
- Suited to light accessories as well as heavier items such as dive lights and camera housings.
- Corrosion-resistant construction for repeated salt and fresh water use.
- Reduces the drag and snag risk of a long, free-hanging tether.
Compatibility and sizing
The lanyard attaches to standard BCD D-rings and harness webbing. Two color options are available: Black (SKU DC-COIL-LANYARD-BLK) and Blue (SKU DC-COIL-LANYARD-BLU). The product MPN is DC-ACC-LANYARD-COIL.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the quick-release buckle do?
The buckle sits in the middle of the lanyard and lets the attached item be separated with one hand. That means you can pass a camera to a buddy or hand a light up to the boat without unclipping the lanyard from your BCD or harness.
Where does this coil lanyard attach on my gear?
It attaches to standard BCD D-rings and harness webbing. Clip the lanyard to a BCD D-ring or harness webbing where you can reach the quick-release buckle with one hand, and the coil will keep the tethered item close to your body between uses.
Can it hold a camera housing or a dive light?
Yes. The coil design is intended for both light accessories and heavier items such as dive lights and camera housings. The coil keeps the item from being dropped or lost while limiting the drag and snag risk that a long, free-hanging tether creates. For very large rigs, contact us to talk through your setup before ordering.
What colors are available and will it rust in salt water?
The lanyard is offered in Black (SKU DC-COIL-LANYARD-BLK) and Blue (SKU DC-COIL-LANYARD-BLU). Corrosion-resistant materials are used throughout, so it is built for repeated salt and fresh water use. As with any dive accessory, rinse it with fresh water after salt water dives and let it dry before storage.
Review summary
Reviewers agree this coil lanyard secures gear like flashlights, cameras, and accessories to a BCD, and its one rating was 5 stars. Several note it is easy to operate with or without gloves and gives good reach while staying clipped. One diver reports a unit still in great shape after about 30 years, crediting it with saving hundreds of dollars in lost equipment. Reviewers also call it versatile across training and recreational dives. Good fit for divers who want a simple, dependable way to keep small accessories attached underwater.
