While getting our gear on, preparing for a dive on a charter, one newbie diver across the boat looks at me and asks:
My gear includes an 8 foot hose, a pony bottle, a safety sausage, a knife, a whistle, a shaker....
I explained to him what every component is for and why I dive with all that gear.
He then replied :
He then had me thinking. I asked my instructor at my LDS the question and he gave me a very good answer.
( This one should be pretty interesting !!! )
What's all the gear for and why so much ?

He then replied :
One day someone is gonna find you drowned, all tangled in all this excessive gear !!
He then had me thinking. I asked my instructor at my LDS the question and he gave me a very good answer.
I am throwing this one at you ScubaBoarders!
What is too much safety/back up gear for no-deco recreational diving, and where do we stop ?
