I used the search function but couldn't find an answer to my very basic question.
I'll be doing my open water certification dives in a couple of weeks and want to make sure I have the proper standard safety items. I tend to be overly anal about being prepared for emerg situations.
What are the standard safety items that should be in a bcd for surface signaling or other situations?
whistle - anything special? will a simple plastic rescue whistle work?
flashlight - do i need one for day dives <60ft in clear water?
pocket strobe - have a princeton tec strobe already
inlflatabile signal device - do I need this?
trauma shears
I have basic personal gear, fins, mask, snorkel, booties and gekko...anything else I should pickup?
