Paracord diameter sizes for diving needs ?

I want to buy the right size....can't decide if it is
"550 model" paracord ( 3.5~mm) ?
or the "275 model" ( 2.5~mm)
or the "microcord " ? ( 1.15~mm)

or 2 use a combination of 2 common sizes?

please advise

and many THX

It really depends on the use of it. For my reels I use #24 or #36 depending on which reel it goes on. For pretty much everything else I use a 1/8" or 3/16 shockcord or bungee cord (e.g. lift bag retention, slates, etc.) I also use #24 to tie items to a clip (e.g. a small hand held light).
