This should be an interesting post, what scuba items do you use outside of the realm of scuba diving? For me it is the Intova Edge Action Camera, Intova Nova Action Camera, and the Intova HD Sport II Action Camera. Great thing about these little cameras, you can use them in many different sports. I mount mine on some of my firearms, whether I'm hunting, shooting for fun, training, or just goofing off. So tell me what SCUBA related items you use when not SCUBA DIVING.[video=youtube;pR-tVuNr_20]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR-tVuNr_20[/video]

GoPro...............
 
A drysuit for comfortable digging in wet clay
A backup light for a lost sock search
 
all those flashlights, and the EMT shears, now in the kitchen drawer

And I did use a bastardized scuba getup as a Halloween party costume (no tank though, too heavy), which was the subject of a descriptive goofball thread on this very board, last fall ;-)
 
Lights during night time walks with the wife. Summertime we have to keep an eye out for the copperheads. See several each year.
 
Definitely use some of my backup lights and shears as well around the house. I have used my shorty wetsuit whitewater rafting in October.
 
I used my tank and valve to blow broken glass chips out of my cell phone camera when I replaced a broken lens. My dive flash lights are also my regular flash lights. A friend of mine uses one of my old tanks to run his air brushes at outdoor art shows. Years ago, we used to run the mouthpiece half of our snorkels between the snaps of our nylon down expedition parkas when ice climbing because the moisture in our breath would wet the nylon and the wind would push it against our mouths and create a non-breathable seal when our hands were occupied with axes and hammers.
