First... RESIZE THOSE PICTURES!!! Lots of screen wrap due to large pic size. (SB should really limit it).
2nd loosley coiled is fine. But if you want to do it tightly it won't hurt it either. If you look at the way your regulator comes from the manfuacturer in the box, they coil those hoses pretty darn tight and they stay that way for months before they are sold.

MRF:
Or a single oblong hole in the middle that you can put all your fingers in. That way you could lift it out with one hand. Wouldn't work if you want to store small parts on the shelf, though...
Like D_B I use the Stanley boxes. They work well for diving. Mine is the larger one and my lovely bride get the smaller version. Both come with a tote tray. Funny thing is the smaller box has a larger tote than the larger box. I only use the tote tray that is part of the larger box.

LOL. Far too complicated. After rinsing the gear in the tote, I just leave the lid off with the regs on the top. Everything dries, no muss, no fuss. (Lid is in a corner somewhere in the basement if anyone needs it...

Teamcasa could you clue me in on how you attached the cam bands to the lid? i was trying to do this but i couldn't decide on a way to attach them without tweaking the lid.
Sure. I cut two 2X 3/16 slots on each side of the ridge that is in the center of the lid. I then threaded the cam strap in one side, under the center ridge and out the other side. Cutting the slots is very easy to do with a small die grinder or Dremel tool. You could also drill a series of holes and file them smooth.
I used both boxes on many dives, they hold up very well to the abuse and they make great clean up tubs as well as dry storage for the gear.

i thought about doing that but didn't know if it would be strong enough, but if it works for you it will work for me. Thanks Dave! and, yeah, i forgot to mention the part about rolling it onto my deck and filling it with water to clean my gear...
