Hi there! I am getting back into diving and have all of my own gear. Any suggestions on how to clean dive gear, instead of filling up a large trash can or bath tub with water? It seems like a waste of water. I know the value of my equipment is worth the fresh water. I could possibly save the water and repurpose it for the lawn down the line. Just wondering, what other people might do .....

Don't you have some freshwater caves to dive in over there?

Next time you take a shower plug the drain in tub. The grey water is clean enough to get rid of the sea salt and dirt.
And a little soap in the water is helpful for rinsing the gear. Or just water the lawn.

Dr Bronner’s liquid Castile soap is great for gear.

Use the water to flush your toilet after washing your dive gear.
Leave it out in the rain?
