Surface marker buoy and whistle. Actually the whistle was more important. It was the only thing, the whistle sound, that convinced the boat captain he still had divers in the water during a night dive emergency when his crew lost count of the number of divers recovered. Best couple bucks you can spend. Nothing says help me like a screaming whistle.
I guess it would have to be a Rolex Dive Watch that I purchased in 1974. It was a replacement for another that I blew-up in the chamber at DCIEM. I payed $350 (and the pieces I picked-up from my other watch). I used it daily for the following 37 years and sold it for $17,000! I now have a new Rolex Deep Sea, which cost me $8K. Hopefully my Son can sell it in 2048 for $400,000...
