I love to dive. In this blog I will collect articles that were helpful, fun or just interesting to me, my fellow divers or my dive students. I love to dive the cold water of the Midwest as well as the warm waters of the Caribbean. Have fun. Let me know what you think and let me know what I missed so I can add it.

SAVE-A-DIVE KIT
What would you do if your fin strap broke if you were on a boat, on a dive vacation? Would you have to sit out the dive? Do you have a backup? Every diver should carry with them a good “Save-a-dive” kit. The following items are inexpensive and by not having them may end up ruining an expensive dive outing.
- O-RINGS, VARIOUS SIZES FOR TANKS, HOSES, ETC.
- MASK STRAP OR SPARE MASK
- FIN STRAPS
- SPARE BATTERIES FOR COMPUTER, FLASHLIGHTS, ETC
- SECOND STAGE MOUTHPIECE
- SILICONE LUBE
- SCUBA TOOL
- POCKET KNIFE
- CABLE TIES
- DUCT TAPE
- SNORKEL KEEPER
- MASK DEFOG
- CLIPS, BUCKLES, RETRACTOR
Keep all of the items in a small box or zip lock bag. Make sure that all of your spare parts fit your own gear. You may find yourself adding to your kit as needed.
