SharksSkin wetsuit - I even used two tops and two bottoms for colder water. Not faster to get on than neoprene (because you have to put top and bottom on), but neutral and light in the suitcase. About $186 per piece at DRIS. Wash them in the clothes washer on delicate setting.

Subgravity Aquaprop scooter.
Aside from a boat (which doesn't really count as scuba gear ...), nothing has changed the way I dive or delivered more enjoyment than this product. It's small and light enough to beach dive through surf and powerful enough to cover 3-4 times as much ground as I could by swimming alone.
Other than that, a Freedom plate of course and an Apeks public safety wing (streamlined and still looks like new after 500 dives).

Apollo Bio-Fins. Most comfortable flippers I have ever owned in over 50 years of diving.
My old Mark Kettenhoffen 1/4" farmer john/hooded jacket custom wetsuits. I went through at least 5 of his suits and would still be using them if Mark hadn't retired. He put me onto JMJ Wetsuits who have now made me several 5mm suits of the same type. Cut is different than Kettenhoffen but still VERY comfortable and easy to don/doff. My 2psi

The used Petrel 1 I got on ebay for $383 shipped. Wanted a Perdix AI with transmitter but couldn't justify it at 2.5x price used, plus I already owned the spg

Loved my F2...until I had to send it back for repair. Apparently a workmanship issue when assembling the rear seal. For 2k, I would have expected better. Blue Tax...doesn't mean reliable.
