My list is divided in two parts:
Part One is everything that will get wet and ist stored in a box like suit, regulators ...
Part Two is everything that (hopefully) stays dry and is stored in a bag like Dry Suit undergarment, clothes, tools

The Part One list is sorted in a way that the fist thing that I will need at the dive site is at the bottom of the list, and vice versa.
