I don't really know if bungee was ever included, maybe he just threw in a bit for me. But you'll use bungee all the time so might as well order a few feet, or best deal is to go in with some friends and get a 50' roll.

who is Tobin? How do I get in contact with him? does he work for DSS? Now this might be a very DUMB question, but for the sake of saving money do you think I could just purchase one compass and not get one for my husband? Or do you think it's necessary for both divers, even if we are buddies, to have their own? I'm sure it's better for safety and to double check our heading, etc, but thoughts only having the one?

okay, I searched and found Tobin and contacted him. Thanks to everyone for helping out the novice.
The safe answer is for each person to have their own. Makes it easier for you to switch turns navigating and serves as a backup on trips if one gets lost or broken. And of course buddies sometimes get separated.
On the other hand, it's not one of the more crucial items to duplicate. You will normally navigate as a team, and if you become separated you should search for a minute and then surface.
