Anyway, back to the original post here.

I want you to know Lottie, that my kit is designed for the type of diving I do up here. Now of course it would never hurt to have that much stuff, I just don't think you really would need all of that where you dive. Maybe the basic dive shop purchased save a dive kit with a few personal items of your own added. Just make sure you upgrade to a nice waterproof box so your stuff is in good working order when you need to rely on it.
