Can you really have too much gear?

[Scuba fryd]

So I am a gear head and loves fiddling with equipment rn I dive Sidemount and I want a back mount set for the small dives or vacation and a back mount for dobbels when I go tech but now that I am starting to have alot of equipment it got me thinking can you have too much equipment? Anybody that have had way too Muche what's your experience.

NEVER too much equipment, in fact, you can never have enough!!!! Don't let anyone tell you anything different!

Can you have too much cloths or shoes or underwear?? Don't you have cloths for morning, evening, formal, casual, night time, bed time, seasonal?????? Same for dive equipment!!!

If the bills are paid and there’s room to store it, you can’t have too many toys.

If you know how much equipment you have then you don’t have enough.

Doubles make excellent gas banks. You’ll need three of them for air, oxygen and helium.

Then there’s always space for a rebreather and all the additional kit that will bring.

A fantasy gas compressor for the diving RV awaits…

And you should see the underwater camera kit you can spend $$$$$’s upon. So shiny.

If you know how much equipment you have then you don’t have enough.

If you keep finding things you didn't know you have,
You have enough!
For a bit anyway.

You have enough!
For a bit any way.

When you have 11 tanks due for hydro the same month, and thats not 1/2 of them, you have too much.

I foresee to the future. I can hear a noise. A repetitive noise. The noise of a compressor. Paid for by the tears of the Local Dive Shop not getting your income from testing.

You need a backup. It is requisite, that you have at least two of everything!
