All my diver friends,
What accessories do you usually need to carry for diving? What are your needs for accessories?

Welcome to comment below~

None!

I have 2 lights (One of them is your D550), a camera in tray with a separate video light, line cutter, whistle and a DSMB.
Does the color kit on a BCD counts as an accessory?

Depends on the type of dive and what activities I am planning to do on the dive. For freshwater springs/ cave I use lights, reels, finger spools, and line cutter whereas for salt/ open water I carry a whistle, cutting tool, and DSMB.

Depends on the dive.
For shore based hunting dives I have a:
Hand held light.
BFK on my left inner calf for scallop collecting.
Spear gun.
Game hook.
Goody bag.
Another pointy dive knife on my waist band for dispatching bigger fish.
A serrated type Victorinox blunt knife for line/entanglement hazards on the other side of my waist band.
Computer.
Wrist Compass.

For boat based hunting dives:
Add an SMB and small reel.

For near shore urchins removal dives:
Big game bag.
50# lift bag
Associated double ender bolt snaps
No computer (too shallow)
No compass (I just work one spot and don’t move around much)
Sometimes no BC (no point because I never get deep enough to use it, and it’s just one more thing to clean).
BFK to knock urchins loose.
Or, an old ab iron for the same purpose.

For looky loo dives just remove all the hunting/gathering gear.

Spear gun.

band or air gun?

At times I attach my poke spear to my leg for getting flounders.
Most dives I bring my knife in my BC pocket (haven't used it yet in 17 years).
On very rare occasions, if I think there may be strong currents I bring my pocket foldable snorkel.
Don't even need my shell collecting bag anymore with the big pockets my new BC has.
So, essentially I bring nothing, but my dives are shallow shore dives mostly.
