It depends on the dive, but as you are a skipper then you will more than likely be interested in ocean dives
I tend to bring a load of stuff on the boat and then select things to put in my pockets once I know the plan, and I guess many other people do this too (the ones I dive with anyway)
Other than smb's standard items are a mask, snips, wetnotes. Sometimes I don't take a mask, depends on the dive really. Its unlikely that the mask strap breaks as I use the neoprene type strap, and have never ever lost a mask.
With smb's then it depends on whether we are deploying per team or each. If its per team then I take one smb, one spool. If its each I take two smb's two spools. If we have to shoot from deeper than 40 mtrs, then I take a reel. I've never really bought in to the yellow smb thing as I cannot see a situation where I couldn't communicate to the skipper in other ways, so even though I have one I very rarely carry it.
Thats it, other than lights and stuff but then you already know about that stuff.
