I recently bought a new diving emergency kit bag since I eventually had no other choice but to admit to myself that my old one was starting to look a bit worse for wear. Over the years I have accumulated quite a few goodies that were either bought extra out of necessity or to replace low stock items; the result: a mixed bag of loose odds and ends making the kit look a bit like the proverbial wh*re's hand bag.

I am looking for suggestions from the board for items to include in the new bag that would make it a lean, practical, light weight, and above all, effective *diving* emergency kit bag.

If anybody has tweaked their bags to meet their potential, or even historic, needs for diving purposes, please post your kit content lists here. I will try to distill the responses into the most maximized combination for my needs and then post it here also for other people to use for themselves if they so wish.

Looking forward to any responses.

I should have said I'm talking diving emergency as in anything from to minor cuts and stings to something more serious such as barotrauma injuries.
