Check out the description for a complete list of all my Save a Dive kit items, starting with the containers I use to keep my save a dive kit organized: - Storage Container: amzn.to/3kuqaxC - Tackle Boxes: amzn.to/3kj4gxj

Wow, you took a ton of time to list all those parts and pieces, that is really appreciated! Love the videos! Thanks

@CircleHScuba 7 месяцев назад

It was a bit of a pain hunting it all down so thank you for the appreciation comment haha. Glad you’re enjoying the videos! If there’s anything you’d like to see specifically, let me know!

@gng4life 7 месяцев назад

@@CircleHScuba I'm getting into Tech diving now so videos related to anything Tech would be awesome! Thanks for the reply!

@CircleHScuba 7 месяцев назад

@gng4life ok I can see what I can do!

I love how organized your SADK is. Mine's just dumped in a small Pelican 1200 case. I did a couple of things differently, but that's mostly due to my gear setup. I don't need valve inserts because my regulators are DIN. I bring a DIN to Yoke adapter instead. I have a teeny tiny O-ring set, and keep the port plugs and a couple of swivel spools with their respective O-ring sizes. Batteries, I use lithium instead of alkaline. Alkaline batteries can leak. I'd much rather spend the extra couple of bucks and be sure my dive computer isn't ruined by a leaking battery. Lithium has the added benefit of lasting longer, and having a longer shelf life. I carry AA and CR2 batteries for the Shearwater Perdix and Swift. I prefer the brass O-ring picks that came with your O-ring kit over the stainless steel dental pick. Stainless steel is a very hard material and can easily scratch the chrome plating on a regulator. Brass is softer than chrome and won't damage the finish. In addition I carry a spare EezyCut Trilobite with a couple of spare blades. A tank pressure checker. A couple of spare Sharpies and refills for the Pilot Croquis automatic pencil (which is a great alternative for the pencils that come with slates and wetnotes). A bit of line and bungee. Any tools that came with my gear (like the 1.5mm hex key to open the transmitter, and the battery compartment opener for the Perdix). A spare dust cap. And tools that are the exact correct size for my gear in addition to a star tool by XS Scuba, and a nozzle that attaches to the LPI hose. If you're carrying a SADK for local diving, and you bring your own cylinders, having a tire inflator could be useful should you get a flat out in the middle of nowhere.

Oh these are some great items too! I’ve been slowly upgrading pieces of mine. For example I do lithium now as well haha. Part of my use cases were that I am an instructor, so I carry things my students’ kits may need and to be completely honest, I’m going to use cheaper things to fix their rental kit until we get it back to the shop for service than more expensive things I’d use on my own kit. I’ve ditched the stainless steel pick and keep more brass ones now, and I have a tank gauge and nitrox analyzer in my current kit too. I want to do a full overhaul again sometime soon and make an updated version of the video, then do the same with a travel kit when you’re getting on a plane too since you may need to take less for weight, or may take specific things hard to find in the local area you’re traveling to.

@user-bc3jd5sb6l 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much for all the videos! Any way you can make a video on how to pack everything safely please? I am a new diver from Minnesota and going to Cozumel for the first time. Thank you!

@CircleHScuba 4 месяца назад

I have a video about a packing list, but not on packing safely, good idea!!

@donacardenasHomes Год назад

Not having enough air by mistake is something that scares the heck out of me when traveling to other dive sites. Great video!

@CircleHScuba Год назад

Thanks so much! I actually was with someone who ran out of air once due to a number of mistakes that were overlooked. I should make a video about that! Scuba can be very safe if you are safe and don’t get complacent. There’s always risks, but it’s not too bad! 🤓

@MetallicReg 10 месяцев назад

Had that happened in my dive groups a couple of times. Usually this is what a buddy is for - the group could continue a dive depending on the location, but if a buddy is short on air, the other one shares and you both abort no matter what. If it is a group of new divers, it is however common for the guide to share his air instead of the (freshly OWD) buddy. So the whole group will abort in an orderly fashion. Those instances happened when people went diving after a long break and were overly excited/nervous - in combination of diving 5-10m lover than planned. The guide won't check on the gas often enough to prevent that at many locations (at least my past experience).

congratulations for the video, I always carry a kit too but yours is too top

@CircleHScuba Год назад

Thank you for watching!

@dalebrownhill2540 Год назад

Good info but wat to big to travel with I use a small bag with universal tools and just one of each

@CircleHScuba Год назад

Thanks, and I completely agree it’s too big to travel. For traveling I bring the equivalent of one of those tackle boxes basically. Spare batteries, an Allen key set, small wrenches, and just a couple extras like bolt snap, snorkel keeper (can be used for loads of things), and I’ll bring my DIN to Yoke converter. Much smaller kit but still gives me some essentials! Thanks for dropping a comment!
