    spare mask

    How many of you guys carry a spare mask? Does the water temperature affect that decision?
    Cheers,
    Dave...

    I do. Warm or cold, I can't see very well underwater without one.

    Yep, carry one. No water temp doesn't come into it. If you need a spare it makes a world of difference to have one

    Another vote for Yes, No.
    The race does not always go to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but it's a good way to bet

    Are all these yesses on your person during a dive, or just with you on the boat?

    I have a spare in my gear bag, but I don't usually dive with it in a pouch.

    I always have a spare on the boat. Water Temp never a factor.

    Yes, always, right thigh pocket, attached with double ender on bungee cord with spare reel and shears in same pocket, clipped off in the same way. I just pull all the bungee out, unclip what i need and restow. That would change if I was in a confined space and worried about entanglement I guess.
