A tank banger I need because... um.. not sure, why actually. especially if I have a knife I can use to bang on it in case I desperately need to get someone's attention.
When you say pocket shorts, do you mean that I should get a pair and wear them *over* my wetsuit? (please pardon my extreme nooobiness). Because I expect to be renting wetsuits for a bit more time.
I don’t like keeping anything in pockets. Probably why I’m going with a bp/w anyways lol. Only 9 dives into diving but so far the only thing I’ve had in the pockets of my bcd are:
Gloves (didn’t even use)
GoPro (just during surface swim)
My knife (forgot the strap at home)
As you progress as a diver you will find yourself carrying items that you may only need once in every hundred dives...but you will appreciate having when you DO need them. Things like trauma shears, wetnotes, finger spools, dsmb....all can go in a pocket so they don’t get snagged on something or lost.
