Essential: o2, 1st aid.

Good skipper who doesent act as if divers are a pain in the bum (even when we are).
A well thought out boat. Wide benches with bungee to hold cylinders upright. Boxes for bits under the bench. No ropes sat on the deck to fall over, loose mats to get your fins caught under.
If a compressor on board make sure it has long hoses.
If a deckhand, make sure they know about diving.
Clean bucket for rinsing masks.
Loads of places to hang onto on the ladder. Rungs not too far apart!
Skipper who takes basic details - contact number etc.
Spares - fins, lead, mask.
Tea, coffee, blackcurrant (cos not everyone drinks tea/coffee)
Chocolate
