Favorite add-on accessory

[Didje]

Hey guys,
What's your favorite add-on accessory, aside from the usual knife, lamp and shaker?
For instance, I really like this magnetic octopus holder from Subgear : Subgear Magnetic Octopus Holder. Regulators Accessories, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive

Favorite, how about must useful IMHO.
Inflatable sausage, I have used it more than a few time drift diving in Aruba and Cozumel. Once in Aruba we surfaced a quarter mile from the boat, (the wind shifted and blew the boat in the opposite direction from the current). Without it we might have had to make the swim to shore.

I find it interesting that you like the magnetic octo holders. I thought they looked like a fantastic idea, and bought several from Piranha (I'm quite sure they are exactly the same, because apart from the brand logo, they look identical) and found that they simply weren't strong enough to retain regulators. It's a clever idea, but at least for me, they just didn't work as billed.

Let me tell you about a better way to secure your octo...

Now that is weird, because the one I have has a super strong magnet! My octo won't come loose when I do a giant stride entry. Maybe Subgear's magnets are stronger? :dontknow
