I take a knife & keep a light on my mask. Helps if you get seperated / in low viz. Have a whistle attached to my inflator hose. That's about it, besides my compass, computer & backup bottom timer of course
I tried a CD (and the glued back to back CDs too) in the BC pocket. For my trouble, I got to clean out my BC pocket of busted CD residue twice. Mine turned from CD to mirror to mush in short order. They make great coffee coasters at work, especially if you make a label for them with something like TOP SECRET or HOW TO BE A MILLIONAIRE. Much more fun. Anyway, I vote for the DSMB and a whistle. YMMV with the CD. Good luck.
Unless I'm on a cruise, I carry a computer with a compass, a knife, a slate and a "Dive Alert" on my inflator hose. For cruises, I leave the knife at home. For night dives, I add a light stick to the yoke and 1 or 2 lights. Based on what everyone is saying, today I added a SMB and shears.
Based on what I've seen elsewhere on SB, I put a few permanent messages on my slate: "Stay closer" and "Too close" as these seem to be frequent comments to my buddy (a product of my Grow Your Own Dive Buddy program).
