Packing my ready bag today I thought to put my defog bottle into the mask box speed things up. Then I thought "I bet there are a lot of tips and tricks the experienced PSD folks on Scubaboard have for organizing gear and prepparing for a fast deployment."
So how about it guys, can you post some tips and tricks?
Thoughts from the newbie:
Write out a list of all your gear, sorted by bag. Pack them by the list. Include regular clothing and warmth gear. Change the list as you figure out better arrangements.
Keep your "spare parts" bag seperate from your actual "dive bag". If you have to have it, it goes into the dive bag. If it's optional, it's "spare parts". That might lighten your ready bag a little.
Are all your recent dives logged? You might have a chance to go on an adventure dive but not have enough documented experience.
When you log a dive and think of something, write it down. Frequently review your logs to see what you've improved and what you forgot to work on.
On some schedule, annual, semi-annual,or whatever, inventory your equipment. Ensure you have all makes, models, and serial numbers. Ensure everything is marked with a permanenet marker.
ciao!
