Help us avoid the common mistakes. What have you forgotten to pack, and wished you'd known better?
We're both pretty organized and pack well, but we imagine there are a few things obvious to those more experienced. (We've both amassed a basic set of gear: boots, fins, skin and/or 1mm suit, bcd, reg, mask, snorkel, open finger gloves.) We've put our gear on almost every evening, and are joining in a pool session just for fun tomorrow morning to actually get everything wet.
And yeah, we've got the sunscreen and safety sausage.
We're headed to Cozumel in about a week for a week long stay at Scuba Club along with 65 of our soon to be closest friends from our LDS club.
Help me add to my list.
1 - mesh gear bag for lugging things from room to boat, etc.
2 - little retractable lanyard thingie for fish id cards
3 - ...
...gloves are officially a 'no-no' in Coz.....also, as you will have 65 other divers to sponge off of, as well as easy access to civilization and like 100 different dive ops/shops, don't over-sweat this issue...THIS time! ...once you venture to more remote 3rd-world locations/liveaboards, THEN I'd pay close attention to the suggestions thus far listed...they will be way more critical then.
