Hi all,
Still relatively new to diving - have the basic mask/fins/snorkel and rent the other equipment until we figure out what works best. I have been searching through the threads and trying to come up with a "must have" list of safety items to take along for each dive. To give you an idea of the type of diving we're doing: My wife and I have been doing dives where land is visible and staying with smaller operators (6-packs, 8 or 10 at the most) and avoiding the cattle boats. All dives generally less than 80 ft.
Currently have:
Safety Sausage
EMT Shears
Dive Knife
Computer
Compass
Small Flashlight
In process of purchasing:
Safety Mirror
Storm Whistle
Anything major that's missing?
I have the knife because it was on sale when I first started. I have read recommendations for line cutters. However, the EMT shears alone seem sufficient for any cutting jobs that would be necessary... can we ditch the other cutting tools?
