- BCD / wing, regulator set, computer, spare batteries

Day-of dive checklist

- Weights confirmed for exposure suit
- Cameras secured; ID goals noted for after the dive (identify app)
After the dive
Log depth/time, rinse gear, charge batteries, and note species for later ID. Use Scuba Steve’s surface-interval tools only as time checks—not as decompression clearance.
