Hey gang - fairly new to the board and I have a few questions concerning safety gear. I am a fairly new diver (9 dives) and my wife and I are heading to Cozumel in 2 weeks to go diving. We do not have a complete equipment setup but we have wetsuits, fins, mask, knives, lights, gloves, etc. My question relates to safety and signaling equipment. On our past dives we carried nothing other than what the dive shop provided, but feel that we should increase our safety equipment to....well be safe! As I said we have knives and lights - but here is what I was planning on getting, and tell me if this is overkill or not enough:
Signal Mirror (2)
Whistle (2)
Yellow SMB (1)
Is one SMB enough for both of us? I am not trying to go crazy (money) with gear, but I want to have enough. Since we are going to be buddies is one SMB enough or do we each need to carry one? Any other gear that we should get? Do we even need this gear at all with a small group in Cozumel?
PS we are diving with Dive Martin in Cozumel
