How many brands in your kit?

[Dive the World]

Interesting thing I observed while going through my dive kits - No one can claim I am sponsored by one brand

In my two combined Bags I have

Scubapro (+UWATEC)
Sherwoods
Hogs
Oxycheq
Mares
Frog
Dive Rite
XS
O'neill*
Princeton*
Buddy*

How many brands can be found in your kit?:cool2:

Just a Q out of curiosity!

* I added these after a I read a few posts and realized that I have them too. I think my wife is right about having enough gear. - Nah, i take that back

[fjpatrum]

Oceanic
Scubapro
Salvo (backplate)
Tusa
Mares
Saekodive
Voit/AMF
DUI
Billabong
Aqualung
Henderson/NeoSport (I have both)
HOG
Dacor
Zeagle
Sealife
and a bunch of others for small accessories like spools, cutting tools etc.

Plus I have a whole bunch of homemade stuff, like drysuit undergarments, harnesses and backplates etc.

I'm kind of a gear whore but I don't get down with just one brand. There's too many alternatives and nobody ever make everything the way I like it. Plus I buy mostly used gear so I go for deals.

How many brands can be found in your kit? Just a Q out of curiosity!

Interesting question. Like you, my answer is 'a lot' - and some might say, 'Too many'.. I have trained in / dive with / teach through a shop that carries certain brands. So, to an extent, what I have reflects those core brands. I also have acquired used gear on eBay and elsewhere, even when they are not 'shop brands'.
