Who uses a formal checklist as you prepare your equipment, pre-dive? Some of my gear I share with other activities, and have had a couple times where i have forgotten an item "in another gear bag". Short of duplicate and triplicate items (wasteful IMHO) It would seem a simple printed excel checklist would be in order?
I was thinking of a list, by catagory, of all the gear I would possibly need, and then adjacent columns for "Boat Dive, Night Dive, Shore Dive" etc, so that I could highlight if an item is needed for the type of dive I plan to do that day?
Is this an overly analytical waste of time? Does anyone do something similar? Can you share the methods to your madness?
Thanks.
