I don't always dive with my wet suit, so I went with pockets that attach to the waistband of the harness and have straps to secure to my legs. No matter my exposure protection, I can always have my pockets with me.
A save-a-dive kit has saved a few dives for me.
Nice...X-shorts are also an option.

Plastic grocery bag to put alternately on feet and hands when sliding into my wetsuit, reduces the friction and the struggling.
Extra (cheap) eyeglasses for my dive bag before putting mask on so I can read computer etc without getting my good prescription glasses salted or beat up.
Battery tester, just in case.

A sense of humor and an open mind. A save a dive kit, SMB and spool/reel, spare mask and a small torch on top of your regular dive kit can make the difference between doing a dive and having to call it off due to equipment or visibility issues. A good predive chat with your dive buddy about expectations/ goals is a good idea too.

All good suggestions so far, one thing I always carry at my favorite local dive spots is a small mesh bag. If i run into any trash or items that do not belong there I stuff them into the bag and bring them out with me. Not sure if anyone mentioned CPR mask, I always carry one. Shameless plug for lights, clips, knives, and all sorts of useful gadgets on our site: Scuba and Snorkel gear
Have fun!

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! I am enjoying the dive planning as much as I enjoy the actual diving.
