Nemrod:I am not sure the thread was minimalist vs maximalist (lol), the OP just asked what is brought down for a dive by posters. In regards poking fun at PerroneFord, he is a cave diver. What would be considered minimalist by a cave diver is not minimalist for a guy like me diving in a lake but trust me this---if I took cave diving up again (forbidden by she who is master) then I would be carrying everything Perrone has and in exactly the same way he does it. I am pretty sure he does not bring extra junk along just because he saw it dangling on the LDS "Buy This Stupid Junk Please" rack. I think there is some thought behind it.
My standard rig:
1) A)Phoenix Aqua Master with Tekna or Conshelf octapus on 40 inch swivel hose or B) Aqua Lung Legend set, 40 inch swivel hose.
2)Hammerhead plate and I will be experimenting with a beautiful new plate from www.pacificcoastmarine.net (wow--it is amazing)
3) Mach V wing or SeaTec horsecollar BC
4) Tekna knife on left waist strap
5) UK penlight on rh shoulder D ring and strap
6) Ikelite minilight clipped on right hip where a can light would be (optional)
7) ScubaPro SuperJets
8) Bare or Body Glove 3/2 or 5/4 suits
9) Tekna 0-240 analog guage and USD spg in mini ScubaPro console on 26 inch hose with Princeton Tectonics analog mechanical timer,clipped off to left waist D ring. Possibly augmented this year with an Aeries Atomos 2 computer (optional) on left wrist.
10) sausage and spool and sometimes a mirror and whistle and mini Navy Tables tucked away (can all go in small mesh carry bag I clip behind me if using Mach V wing) or in pocket of SeaTec horsecollar BC
11)compass on right or left wrist (semi-optional)
12) Seiko Orange Monster watch on left wrist
13)Tekna DV3X super scooter (optional as neeed)
