I've been trying to figure out the best way to get my pre-dive checks down as a routine and TSandM's thread here http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ba...sic-safety-procedures-have-you-let-slide.html
has gotten me thinking even more about it.
So the general consensus I see is "make the same check in the same way every dive". Being new, I've been trying to figure out how to do this. Whether it be a checklist I put on the back of a slate or somewhere else, or just practice at home by myself a thousand times.
How did you folks do it? Especially those that don't get to dive every week. What methods did you use to make it "muscle memory" so that you are less likely to forget things?
