    Default Save a Dive kit

    Something that Ace mentioned in another thread, got me thinking.

    What should you have in your Save A Dive kit?

    The following spring to mind:
    spare snorkel mouth guard thing (yeah, i know, very technical :S)
    spare straps for fins (if using adjustable straps)
    o-rings (for various reasons)

    what else??

    OK, here is a rundown of what is in mine...just off the top of my head.

    Spare mask w/strap
    spare mask strap
    2 fin straps with buckles attached
    O-Ring kit with various o rings for most of my gear
    Spare weight belt webbing and a buckle
    Duct Tape
    Silicone Grease
    Anti Fog
    Regulator 1st stage caps
    small spare knife
    Spare battries (for my main dive light, backup light, and 2 sets for the dive computer)
    a length of thin bungie cord
    a handful of zip ties
    DIVE TOOLS
    Also depending on where the dive is I bring a spare regulator but that is not in my kit. There may be other items that I just did not remember.

    It is all in a waterproof pelican box. Now originally this started as a Trident brand save a dive kit I bought at the LDS, which was nice, but very limited.

    Spare batteries for YOUR computer and lights and tools to replace same
    Zip Ties
    A small roll of electrical tape (color optional, electrical tape is a the divers duct tape)
    A small adjustable wrench, what good is having an extra o-rings if you can't remove the hose?
    A small dental tool to remove an offending o-ring
    A small arsonal of asprin or sudafed or other otc drug of choice

    How about a huge water filter to improve the visibility?

    Well most dive boats frown upon my drug of choice, but not in California or Negril.

    YES! But remember you have to bring enough to share with the Captain and crew.
