Scuba field kit contents--suggestions?

[MXGratefulDiver]

I keep a full spare regulator and computer, ready to go, for those last minute major problems. I also carry some hose end sized o-ring (003, 010,011) for the simple SI repairs.

I keep a second box in my car with spare stuff ... computer, mask, gloves (two pair), hood, reg, compass, more lights ... it also contains my first-aid kit and O2 analyzer.

That's not really part of my SaD kit though ... it's more like my "save-a-class" kit ...

I have a kit but it is only basic stuff o-ring, mask & fin straps, mask, wire ties , tools, mouth piece, etc.

When does it go from being a save-a-dive kit to being a extra set of gear. I guess I can see having an extra computer or reg. But when I have to care and extra set of gear maybe I should just make sure I have all my gear in and it is good shape before I left the house. Cause if everyone on the boat brings and extra set of gear we are going to run out of room fast. The way I figure it is if gear and save-a-dive kit should all be able to go in my gear bag.

Somewhere between dive 100 and dive 1,000 ... depending on the diver ...

crecent wrench, with a large face so it can open to about 1.5 inches, for tank valves, 1st stages
extra cam strap
universal scuba pro tool
o-ring picks, stainless and brass

one more, when you get your reg set serviced ask the LDS if you can keep your old replaced parts.

I have:
Mask straps, fin straps, spare mask, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers (Small ones and big ones, wire ties, spare knife, spare reg, extra batteries for my dive computer, manuals, silicon lube, o-rings, spare inflator hoses, spare HP hoses, spare hoses for my second stage, extra drysuit valves, dry suit seals, glue, roller and sandpaper, IP gauge, allen wrenches (Metric and Standard), snorkel, sink the stink, picks and every piece of spare gear that I've replaced that is still working. I'm sure there is more but that's the basics. I also carry all of my pool gear so I have an extra everything. People think I'm nuts until they need me to fix something or they need to borrow something.
