Any good ideas?
I have a wide assortment of o-rings, wrenches, mask straps, fin straps...
Anything else?
 
We are 5 in our family of divers so we have a bunch of stuff.

3 masks, o-rings, tools, lube. lightsticks, batteries. Eventually, we will probably have some regs in there too.. haha
 
o-rings, mask, finstrap, extra mouthpiece, zipties (and a little roll of duck tape, because you can fix ANYTHING with zipties and duck tape.) and tools
 
Interested to see where this goes since i've been meaning to get me a save-a-dive kit. One i'm looking at contains:
o-rings
tool
fin/mask strap
mouthpiece
zip ties

you need to add WD-40 there :eyebrow: As I heard a joke that to fix any problem in your car you need 2 things - duct tape and WD-40. If you need the parts to be moving you use WD-40 if you need them to be together you use the duct tape. That simple, huh ? :)
 
Mask Strap
fin Strap
Hex Keys and a swiss army knife
o-rings
batteries - for the computer only
zip ties and duct tape
mouth piece
Clips and carabiners
$20 cash.

These are all contained in a small waterproof box. I've never had to use any of the contents for myself but it has saved a number of my buddies from having to abort a dive because of a broken mask or fin strap.

It is simple. I miss when cars were that easy to fix. There is a laptop and a multimeter in my "save-a-race" kit.
 
All of the above plus a few feet of shock cord (small diameter bungee cord), which is handy in case you need to create a wrist band or loop handle for an accessory such as camera, compass, or light. Swivel clips, snickers bars. Everything loaded in a dry bag.
 
Mine includes un-lubricated condoms.

Great for wallets, cell phones/pagers, keys, money, etc.

Drop it in, tie a knot, stick it in a pocket.

I have even text while submerged with the phone in the condom.
 
Talc, KY Jelly, Cable ties, plastic gloves and gaffer tape. Dry suit save a dive or kidnapping kit - you decide.
