Pieces of equipment that levitate back to me when I drop them randomly. Yeah, I have most things attached to me somehow, but I still screw it up on occasion. Dropping torches is my usual stupid human trick.

Oh, and a BC that automatically adjusts my drysuit and my trim when I start to screw up buoyancy and trim.

When it comes to the non-availability of certain equipment, British dive stores have been known to fob off their disappointed customers with the non-sequitur "You're the umpteenth person to ask for this item today, but we don't stock it because there's no call for it". I'm an "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" kind of person when it comes to underwater gear, reluctant to leap back then and nowadays onto the plastic fin and silicone mask bandwagon driven by the oil industry here, while the Japanese can still access the traditional kit I purchased and used when I started out in the middle of the last century. Consider improving international product distribution systems first.

Underwater sonar to find the wreck when the shot line isn’t on the wreck. If you’ve 3m/10ft visibility it would be amazing to have a sonar pointer that lights up when pointed at the wreck.

HMS seabed can be quite boring.

Combine it with some inertial navigation.

I want a Ti regulator that can be used for deco tanks, a rebreather that monitors EtcPpCO2, and a dive computer that can read my VGI and update the GF accordingly
I also would like to be able to listen to music at 60m depth

I saw oceanic H2O audio on closeout $20 each, but foolishly didn't buy any.

A wetsuit that is gel filled instead of gas bubble filled and doesn't change buoyancy with depth, and needs less ballast weight. Make it so pressure activates heating, so at 130' you're nice and toasty and neutral.

I will get banned but. An AI driven, anti-shark, self propelled torpedo with a .44 Magnum powerhead that I could strap to the inside of my leg opposite the biggest BFK knife I can find. Oh, and fins that kick themselves.

A harpoon into something non vital-ish on a shark would be equally inappropriate, but if you can hang on tight, you won't need self kicking fins.
Sorry, feel free to delete my post, please don't ban me.

Yeah, but I want my fins to know which way I want to go, forward, backward, whichever and do so via telepathy. The shark would only know one direction and probably not the one I want to go in. I mean, like, if the Roswell aliens could communicate with ESP, why cannot my fins, just borrow the tech from them, not like we do not have it all or something. Anyways, that is what I want, an AI Smart Shark Torpedo and ESP self kicking fins.

Seems reasonable to me
