What's in your BC?

[AZNetEng]

I carry a roll up snorkel and whistle in my left pocket clipped in. In my right pocket I keep a dive light, tank knocker, a spare wrist strap and shears. On the BC itself I have a small blunt knife and an SMB/reel, the latter on my right side bottom D ring.

No pockets. Hand-held light clipped to d-ring run through bungee (snoopy) loop; clipped off SMB w/whistle (add a spool if drift diving); small, blunt knife mounted to inflator hose; folding magnifier loupe clipped off with extra double ender.

If shore diving (Bonaire/Curacao), I'll add a waist pocket for a small otter box for credit card, cash, and keys.

Wife is the photog. I just find stuff and point.

Some really good ideas. Thank you & keep them coming. I've already added some items to my list of "needed stuff".

Would never have thought about magnifier. But those dive tables do have small font. Stuff for valuables is a good idea too. That might just be an extra ziplock bag for me though.

I wear a wrist-mounted computer with a Trilobite on the wrist strap. Light is on right hand with a soft Goodman handle.

pocket shorts have been the best $50 i've spent on scuba gear so far.

right pocket: wet notes and tables, rolled up snorkel, small backup light, mask defog bottle

left pocket: DSMB, spool, and about a 2 ft long bit of paracord tied in a loop with a boltsnap that does double duty as a small jon line and for clipping fins off on your shoulder d-ring when climbing stairs or a ladder.

right d-ring: stowed primary hand held light.

computers mounted via shock cord on back of both hands (keeps em from moving around) when diving wet. moved to forearms when diving dry. line cutter on waist belt.

Freedom plate and Hollis wing. I clip my camera to my right chest D-ring, spg to my left. That is all.

 

[TMHeimer]

Not much room in the pockets alongside 10 pound weights, but I do carry my shell collecting bag (also clipped outside as it once floated away), and on rare occasions my foldable snorkel. Attached I have a regular whistle (still unused), and a clip for my console. Sometimes a sausage.

Primary knife is on my left side just above my inflator valve.

If needed A back up light in the right side pocket and primary light on the right D-ring. My octo is in the octo pocket on my right side.
