What has it got in its pocketses

[Zept]

We've done save-a-dive kits (see also here, or here [scroll down] for NetDoc's save-an-entire-dive-boat-using-only-the-right-tools kit). What about the things you take with you on the dive -- things you might not use, but wouldn't want to be without if you needed them?

I have:
-- whistle
-- safety sausage
-- small torch
-- small slate (still debating its usefulness)
-- buddy line (new addition -- not sure about that, either)

No magic rings (ref: The Hobbit) b/c my buddy doesn't like it if I vanish :shaking:

What have you got in your pockets, or clipped on somewhere?

I carry the following:

Backup depth gauge with a watch attached to it
Shears
Wetnotes
Little light

I think that's it. Everything is clipped off to bungies in the pocket.

Wetnotes?

 

[Lost Yooper]

Yeah, it's a water proof notebook. Sometimes, I just take a slate or laminated tables with me.

Here's what the Wet Notes look like:

Attached to BC....
Shears and small knife
SMB and small jump reel

In BC pocket....
Small PCa light
DiveRite™ UW Executive Slate
Small bottle of defog

If diving in open ocean, I have a Dive Alert attached in-line on my inflator hose.

Defog, Dee? See you can redo your mask at the surface, or... ??

Right pocket - thing I will use on the dive: delrin spool with 100' line, wetnotes (see note)

Left pocket - backups for the dive: spare mask, shears, dive-alert, extra double-end bolt snap

All items clipped off to pocket bungee with double-end SS bolt snaps.

(note: wet notes cost $22 at 5thD and $14 at West Marine)

Like so much of diving, the answer to the question depends on the dive. But I almost always carry a sissy line, a slate, a light, and if in open water a safety sausage. Outside the pockets I often carry a lift bag and almost always a spool.

People with Wetnotes: do you have stuff written on them that you might want to refer to, or are you recording stuff during the dive? Or both?
