Hi,

Dont' buy the protective cover at
http://www.lumb-bros-das.co.uk/acatalog/Dive_Computer_Protective_Covers.html

It is absolutely crap, mine broke at the first dive, the plastic is as thin
as an egg shell, it will break unless you do not use it in the first place.

I have instead found a better solution to the problem. I have found an old
suunto solution boot and a protective cover for it and it fits the apeks
nicely, you can see the result on
http://www.project-safe-diving.be/cover.jpg

The suunto's protective cover is really thick and won't break like the
eggshell type mentioned before.

Some pointers:
SUUNTO protector scratch guard example: http://www.danshop.com/suuv5615.html
SUUNTO solution boot  example: http://www.danshop.com/suu5766.html
(for mounting on hose)

I'll bet you find others ....

This maybe true but the protective cover supplied by Apeks works for me.

The lumb bro ones as supplied by Denny Diving seem OK to me once
fitted, I'll find out how well they stand up to the diving later. One
of the 2 I ordered was broken on arrival but replaced with no
quibbling and considering the christmas post pretty quickly.

But is it possible to mount that Suunto scratch quard without boot?

You can mount without boot ... but the shield will move ...

I would advise not to mount the shield without the boot
