Whats in your dive bag?

[ScorpioScuba]

Hi folks! I'm getting ready to leave Saturday morning for a trip to San Carlos, Mexico to do my checkout dives and finally be OW certified! I've been packing and started wondering what the veteran divers out there have in their dive bags.

What are your absolute necessities to have on board the boat pre-dive, during surface intervals, etc?

Thanks in advance!

I carry a small ziplock baggie with single packs of aspirin, ibuprofen, sudafed, Bonine, ginger pills, etc. I also keep a couple individually wrapped cough drops in there as well as a couple band aids, a pair of fingernail clippers (variety of uses), a power bar and a few first aid odds and ends. Doesn't take up much space, yet can certainly make a boat trip more comfortable.

Reg, BC, Mask, Fins and snorkel. I also bring spare mask straps, fin straps and other minor repair stuff. A nice big towell is always nice to have. I bring my log book as well as at least 1 c-card.
