What piece(s) of dive gear do you collect too many of?

[admikar]

Right now, bolt snaps.
But I am actively looking into buying more BCDs, lights, regs, exposure protection. Of course, I will not get rid of existing items within each category.

Dive Knives.

Every time I buy one I think "This is the one, the one that I will love" Then I see the newest dive knife that just out, and son of a gun if it isn't even better.

(and knives are cheap enough so that I can buy multiple)

I'm positive NO ONE will post this item,,but us harvesters are a bit crazy.
I collect too many of my Broken lobster loopers. They cost $45 each and I 'consume' about half a dozen each year. It's just a cost of doing business. There's a middle stiff wire wrapped by 7 smaller outer wires to make up the loop wire. After catching alot of bugs, that middle wire breaks similar to you bending a paper clip back and forth multiple times. Once it breaks, the loop wire loses it's perfect round shape and therefore it takes you 2-3 times as long to angle it around the bug's tail to capture it. Deep underwater, we all know 'Time is not on your side' and that $300 expense is tiny compared to the results I produce weekly. I should put these in the garbage instead of hanging them up.................

You only have 1 thing you you collect to much of?

 

[stiebs]

Other. All of the above plus more. Except boltsnaps. Can't ever have too many boltsnaps.
Other than exposure suits, I think I have enough for at least 6 full sets of gear. Regs, BCs/wings, tanks, masks, fins, lights, miscellaneous spares in the toolbox.
But never seem to have just the right widget that I need at any given moment in time.

I really thought I had a problem until I read the rest of these posts.

Thank you, all, for making me look like I have self-control.

I don’t want think about it to much but probably don’t have to many bolt snaps.

You need another choice for tanks. Tanks and regs are the two big ones.

 

[Nemrod]

Pretty much all of those things.

We don't collect tanks, they breed on there own.
