In Reply to: Re: mike i carry around a lot of gear i need underwater in that "clutter" posted by MHK on August 23, 2001 at 16:36:53:
here is the stuff i carry with me:
lift bags. several, depending on the size of the treasure chest. and the amount of gold.
bunjies and bands to attach to the lift bags with.
fish I/D cards to show to my girlfriend-at-the-time what this is swimming with us waiting for us to slice up an anemonie for it.
cue cards for PADI dive classes ... oh yah ... almost forgot ... you threw yours away already.
writing board for talking to other people underwater, to discuss the topography of the reef, and the various soft corals and other invertibrates on it.
extra mask. i know i know, you got one too.
medium sized light, in a close fitting pouch, attached with a suicide clip.
extra suicide clips to attach my fins to when i get ready to step back onto the boat, or for my fins-off walking beach exit.
spear. dont ask why.
none of this stuff is DIR because none of it is needed in a cave.
i think i am going to have another patch made up: D.I.W. DIVER
i thought of a good bumper sticker too:
STROKE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR DIR GEAR FAILS YOU IN THE OPEN OCEAN
think it will sell?
