Save-A-Dive Kit

[Fish_Whisperer]

What sort of container do you use for your Save-A-Dive kit? I've currently got a small Pelican box, but space is at a premium in my boat bag, and I'm thinking I need to find some other solution.

I've got a double sided plastic tool box by Stanley, basically two trays that flip vertical and the middle section is 2" wide drawers that go all the way through. Its not big enough to put a spare second stage in though, so I'm shopping for something else too.

I was using a watertight clear plastic tube thingie, but as I've added various wrenches, packets of zipties, extra carbiners, a Gerber multi-tool, a scuba multi-tool, plus the usual assortment of mouthpieces, O-rings, and fin and mask straps and buckles, it's clearly time to get a bigger kit box.

Soft sided tackle box.

Two plastic trays with lots of compartments for odds and ends that fit inside, couple of zip pouches, net pouches inside and out. Come in all sizes. Think it cost me $20 - $30 any place that sells fishing gear will have them.

Nice idea! That might be just the ticket. Thanks!

I use a tool box, but a buddy of mine uses a small fishing tackle box with three teir trays. and it's a little smaller then your standard sneaker shoe box.
