I wasn’t sure whether to put this in travel or scuba accessories, but the majority of my dives are going to be diving while on vacation, rather than vacationing to go diving, at least for now, as my family is split between divers and non divers. As such, I’ve been taking less and less gear, to the point where I’m at mask, snorkel, and computer for sure, fins, wetsuit, and booties maybe, and BC/regulators rarely. I end up renting what I don’t take. This goes for my daughter who is my dive partner as well.
We do take a small box of “stuff” that I’ve found very helpful, and wanted to see if anybody else had something that they brought even when renting equipment.
Things I’ve brought and used. Spool and SMB on double ender. Dive light on bolt snap with rechargeable battery and charger. Compass on retractor. Fin and mask holder lanyard on bolt snap. Extra double ender. Bottle of defog. Trilobite cutter. Pair of mechanics gloves.
Things I’ve brought and not used. Octopus holder. Mirror and whistle on bungee and bolt snap.
Things I’ve considered bringing. Dive slate. Trauma shears in sheath. Small dive knife/tool. Extra mouthpiece with zip tie.
All this fits into a mask box which I can put into my carry on. Am I missing something or should I leave something out? Laugh at the fin/mask lanyard if you must, but it’s been really handy on shore dives as it’s freed up my hands for balance.
