There is always quite a bit of discussion of how much spare or back up equipment one should carry. For instance I would say most every diver caries a spare regulator, but thats more or less for an out of air situation.
Some people have mentioned carrying a spare computer, spare 1st or 2nd stage, a spare mask.....Etc.
My question is, where do you draw the line? How much is too much?
I personally carry a spare mask, and a spare computer. Why? Well the mask I won in a raffle, and the computer was an eBay auction that was super cheap.
I guess if we wanted to be 100% safe, wouldn't we carry it all along underwater as well? And why we are at it, wouldn't it also be wise to tow a spare boat behind the one we ride on?
