I haven't been out on a comercial dive boat in years. I spoke with a friend who had gone out on a boat for an open water dive in the Keys this past week. The boat captain told him that the ONLY piece of required equipment was a pressure gauge.
Is that typical? I had been under the impression that an auto-inflator and octopus were requirements. Or are those recommended, but not required? Do any dive boats make computers a requirement now (for ordinary open water diving)? Do boats make any requirement as to BC type? What about compasses?
I know that different boats in different locations will have different requirements. I live in Florida.
