My current dove kit

My current dive kit:

  • XDEEP Ghost Deluxe with both back cargo pockets (one for backup mask, other for SMB+line)
  • Apeks XTX50 with DIN DST and yoke converter for travel (at the moment, I’m diving with pretty standard length hoses, but may move to long hose in the future) I use a bungee necklace for my octo, so take a bit of a hybrid approach.
  • Shearwater Perdix with AI sensor
  • I have an old Oceanic watch dove computer as a backup
  • Cressi Digi 2 as an in-line backup to my dive computer as well. I’m not afraid to have my pressure be digital. If that ever breaks, then I may change my mind. It’s nice to have the digital depth as well in case my dive computer ever malfunctions.
  • Backup ScubaPro compass
  • Fins are not pictured, but currently using Folding Fins. I really like them except the way that the boot holder clips into the base feel like a bit of a point of failure. Have been exploring travel fins, but they all appear to be positively buoyant, which I’m not sure about.
  • My masks are both Hollis M-1. Highly recommended for comfort and visibility.
  • Sola Wrist Light
  • DiveRite CX2 as my backup light
  • I carry standard line scissors and a Zeagle Line Cutter
  • Camera is not pictured, but is a DJI Action 2 in a waterproof case with a handle. If I use the double case, it will last two hour-long dives. If I use the single case, it’s about 1.5 dives. It really varies though based upon resolution and whether I keep it on the whole time.
  • I have an XDeep bolt snap on my primary second stage reg and the one with the larger hoop on my Digi 2 pressure gauge. The octo uses the bungee bolt snap system in case I want to clip it off instead of using the necklace. I’m doing PADI Rescue Diver soon and they don’t teach using a necklace, so I’m forced to do it their way for that course, then will go back to necklace.
  • Wetsuit is 3 mil Henderson
  • ScubaPro booties, hood, and gloves
  • I found that a roll-up tool bag works nice for a save-a-dive kit.
  • Additionally, I alway pack some o-ring lube because I hate having a hissing connection with the yoke.

Thoughts?
