With winter and few options for hitting the water right now I'm reviewing my kit for my independent diving to see what I might want to add and what I might want to leave behind. This applies to both in-water kit and support kit I leave onboard the boat, or in my truck.
My independent diving parameters are pretty tame, 45-foot max dive and bottom depths, mostly shore based though I do sometimes use a boat. May do up to three consecutive dives per trip but more likely two or less.
Kind of curious what you folks consider to be essential items and what items you can do without. Also curious which items you absolutely want more than one of.
And, as usual, I'm very much interested in your reasoning behind your decisions
