Diving toolbox

[Dominic]

Trying to get a toolbox put together for all the things that can go wrong on a dive trip. So far, the items I've got are:

O-rings (leftovers from previous reg services)
Cable ties
Duck tape
Insulating tape
Fishing line and needles
Snoopy loops
Bungee
Spare LP hose (My old buddy blast hose)
Re-useable hose ends (On the blast hose)
Tyre inflator (runs off LP hose)
Screwdriver & bits (Mainly hex keys, but a few screwdriver bits too)
Spanners (adjustable)
A-clamp adaptors (For DIN cylinders)
Blanking plugs (LP and HP)
Wing nuts
Scissors & knife
Sensus Pro interface
Silicon grease
Glass disks (For torch)
Spare mouthpiece

What else do I need?

[Sean]

Spare mask strap (spare mask would be better)
spare fin strap

[Dominic]

Spare mask lives in drysuit pocket - but I will put in the spare strap I have knocking around, forgot about that.

Fin strap = bungee Might chuck in a spare one in case a buddy needs it tho...

Oh, I have glowsticks in there too, forgot about them..

<font color='#728FCE'>Don't forget a spare HP hose and a few HP swivel O rings.

And a spare sense of homour, in case someone loses theirs!

[Dominic]

Good point. I'll get hold of a HP hose when I get the chance. It's currently only been filled with stuff I had lying around

Hi dom, a few extras that i've got in my box.

Super glue
13mm socket and ratchet for twin band bolts.
Pliers and snips.
Black cord for pull dumps.
Surgical tubing.
Allen keys. (hex keys?)
Assorted hoses.
Pack of NEW O rings u miser

The list can go on, I've found that 9 times out of 10 its someone elses kit im fixing rather than my own.

I presume you've got in tank/1st stage O-rings as well as reg spares. They always blow at the least helpful moment, and then there's a mad hunt to find one for the free pint it entails.

The other thing I'd suggest is to get about 5m of bungee (50p a metre) and stick it in the bag. You'd be amazed the replacements I've built with bungee and cable ties.

I've got spare gauges, 2nd stages and even reg setups in my gear, but then my spares kit is rather large. And I've got a spare wing at the moment! Damn, I'm mr. overprepared for a problem.

A can of lager is usually knocking around, too. That's incase you don't have the one part you need to go diving...::

[Finless]

Neoprene glue.
As well as spare fin straps I also have the plastic clips from previous fins as well.
I bought a variety of all sizes of O rings I could find - they all seem to be being used as time goes by.
Spare batteries - maybe.
Surgical gloves in case of &quot;dirty repair&quot;.
Do you need the special Scubapro spanner for undoing the hose from the reg??
O ring remover (other than a big pointy metal thing).
Spare din inserts and LP/HP plugs.
Lint free rag.

Apologies for any duplications - my memory is not as good as err .......

[Lou]

Also in mine is...

beeswax stick
spare contact lenses
spare computer batteries
mole grips
stanley knife

One of my next jobs is to try and make it a bit more waterproof though. &nbsp;I get off the boat carrying a pint of water as well as the tools at the moment, and all fragiles are wrapped in placcy bags from necessity. &nbsp;Out with the silicone sealant I think!

[Dominic]

Super glue - Glue is on the list, I just don't have any yet
13mm socket and ratchet for twin band bolts - Good point..
Pliers and snips. - Live on my Swiss Army knife at all times
Black cord for pull dumps - only got one, and I don't use it. But I'll think about it
Surgical tubing - got some.
Allen keys. (hex keys?) - That's right
Assorted hoses. - working on it
Pack of NEW O rings u miser &nbsp;- I'll be ordering some later. I just had these ones already, and they were already lubricated too
Lint free rag. - good point
Gloves! I forgot to put my gloves in there! How'm I supposed to get my wetgloves on without shiny plastic ones underneath??
Do you need the special Scubapro spanner for undoing the hose from the reg??
- No. A normal one works fine.
I presume you've got in tank/1st stage O-rings - Multitudes
The other thing I'd suggest is to get about 5m of bungee - If I could find the sodding stuff, I'd have 10m of it in there...
