Sunscreen.....nothing fries your face faster than floating on the service being debriefed by your instructor.
I remember a friend of mine from a few years ago....he was balding and a fair redhead to boot. He carried an old nylon baseball hat....one of those flashy neon jazzy ones that were popular eons ago folded up and tucked in the pocket of his BC jacket. If he had to float on the surface for any amount of time, he'd whip that ugly hat out and pop it on his redheaded bald head.
One of my smarter friends......
Lunch, munchies, plenty to drink, chairs, mat, towels, flipflops for shower, sturdy sandals or old sneakers, wide brimmed hat, sanitizing hand gel or wipes (long walk to running water, portalets are closer), extra "necessary" paper as portalet tends to run out on busy weekends, clothespin for nose when using portalet, etc.
