In the Navy, you were not allowed to dive with "hazardous" gear.
There wasn't a list of stuff, but they defined "hazardous" to be anything UNNECESSARY to the job you were doing.
I realize that there is little comparison between Navy diving and sport diving, but the idea of lugging the kitchen sink along on a dive just because you have one is a bit much.
