Survival Kit for Basic Divers on SB

[BHB ScubaTroll]

Your forgot Spare Air, and small ponys definitely, maybe, fatal. Flip Fins are an entanglement hazard.

Excellent catch! I've added them to the list while I still have the edit rights

Any scubapro second stage other than the g250v is junk. Don't forget that one

 

[NorthWoodsDiver]

there is a whole thread about things that can kill a diver let alone a new inexperienced diver.

its best to avoid most everything related to those octo/inflator combos, zip ties, and integrated weight systems.

Can't forget; if you wear any color other than black you will get herpes, and possibly AIDS.

I must have died a looooooooooooong time ago then

:ssst: No ghosts or sock puppets allowed to post on SB:doh2:

Oh and I also learned here recently that newbies should never manually inflate their BCD's only use power inflate

If you do not own a drysuit preferably WITH A PEE VALVE; we strongly suggest that you use the "email opt out" option found in your profile page .

You need to be more specific. If you own a drysuit it must not be neoprene. Or if it must be neoprene it has to be crushed neoprene or the buoyancy swings will be so great that they are likely to kill you.

If you don't you an HID can light, all dives will be zero vis.

One that should make the list, too--

If you don't have the body of a Greek god, you'll die, or at least make us look bad*
