[Alaskan Scuba Dude]

According to his list he's going to forget his computer, at least he'll know how to put his wetsuit on though lol

People who are lucky enough to own a Perdix just have to make sure they have AAs

He also forgot to mention compass.

He also forgot to mention compass.

I wouldn't either. It's in my analog console.

 

[Alaskan Scuba Dude]

I prefer my Perdix which is pretty accurate or I use a wrist-mounted magnetic compass.

If he had the right computer it would be inside that

When I took my first class, at the Y, we were always told to “dress from your feet, on up” and pack accordingly. It’s only when I’ve gone “off-script,” have I forgotten anything.

I’ve never really carried a formal list . . .

Lots of good ideas posted here. I use this list when I'm packing for a month in the Keys. I also have one for the boat and clothes.

• Explain to my buddy how I will donate my primary, and use my integrated inflator

Great check list I can use and modify for my needs
