    I don't always carry a knife but I do keep an "EMS" type shears (scissors) with me. They will cut through anything, harness straps, slack fishing line, even cut thin aluminum with them before and they don't seem to ever get dull.

    Great video, I'm new to diving and just bought a BCD, your tips are extremely helpful. I subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.

    Great job! I like the bolt snap trick.
  • @ABCDiver
    great tips! trilobite cutters also have pouches that slide on to the BC straps, very handy.

    I don’t use back plate but have a couple of different BC jackets and one of them lacks of D rings and the few it has are in such an awkward place. However the rubber bands ideas is gonna be a way to fix some issues I’m having. Thanks a lot! Cheers Mate 👌🏻

    How about replacing nylon cable ties (sun oxidizes) with stainless steel? Also, using LCD inspection camera to view the inside of bladder of BCD ( vest, wing, etc.? )

    You should replace your zip ties on your snorkel with bungee. That’s how I roll

    Yep. Your local bike shop will be HAPPY to give you as many used bike innertubes as you can carry. It's not only the frugal choice, YOU'RE RECYLING!
  • In my "ouch pouch" I carry (1) Cat 7 tourniquet,(1) swat-t tourniquet,(1) vile of Divesoft Fluorescein Marker Dye,and a glass survival mirror.
  • Great tip with the rubber bands. Love the channel 😁 I recently returned from Mexico, spent 2 months diving the cenotes of the Riviera Maya, these are now under threat from the" tren Maya" a railway under construction that will loop 1500km from Cancun to Tulum, cutting through the jungle and directly over the cenote river system. The environmental impact on this sensitive biosystem will be catastrophic, there is nowhere else in the world quite like it. Although work is suspended for the moment ( due to action from a group of cave divers) the Mexican president is keen for the railway to be completed by December 2023. Would it be possible for you to do a video about this issue to raise awareness among the diving community. Many thanks👍
