Scuba Divers Toolbox - What's INSIDE? ¦ UKDiver

- Hello and welcome to UKDiver.
Today's video is a good root through my scuba diving tool box.
This box comes with me on all my hard boat diving and is in the car when I'm RHIB diving. I probably carry a bit more than your average diver, but that's what happens when you're an instructor as students will insist on buying all sorts of crap that has a tendency to fall to bits when actually out on a dive.
The stuff in this box has got me and fellow divers out of a pickle on more than one occasion. I'd absolutely recommend that you start putting together your own tool box as soon as you can just for the peice of mind that you'll be able to deal with most kit failures on site.
Any questions or comments, please leave them below.
Dive safe!
Andy

I do carry a spare mask, but I'll keep a couple of spare mask straps in my SADK anyways. That way I'll have a spare mask on the second dive as well. Though the Apeks masks also come with a neoprene mask strap, so there's a spare there anyways.

G’day Andy, I just watched your channel for the first time. I know it was a year ago now but I enjoy watching. I have been a diver since 84 last century lol. I’m going to watch all of your episodes. Cheers mate well done 👍
Cheers Mark! Sorry for the slow reply, just got off my first ever liveaboard and now currently chilling in our hotel with wifi for the first time in over a week!
Great video I carry a little bottle of white vinegar for any salt build up and incase for a jelly fish stings ( don't want my mate to pee on me lol)
LOL!! I don't carry vinegar. Salt build up I deal with when I'm back home as this is a traveling tool box. As for the jellyfish stings... I'll just deal with the pain!! :D
Hi Andy - were all about finding water access, for all water sport enthusiasts these days, in Cumbria.
Being a former diver of 23 years up in the Lake District with the wife and Dive club member back in the day.
Happy New Year bud !
Have rung the 'ding a ling'. Good vblog. Check us out if you fancy a dip in the English Lakes. 👊 🇬🇧
Sounds great! Never been diving in the lakes though am a regular at cappers as you'd expect. Be nice to have a guide and see what it's all about at some point in the future! Cheers, Andy
@@UKDiver Appreciate the ship bell ring Bud !
cappers - i have some reworked film coming up next year. You cant beat the wild lakes - check out Daz and his bud who came up to dive Ullswater at Park Foot - they got a "Real Wicked Dive" and still found booty! Happy New Year m8
@@UKDiver Dont worry - you wont need a guide with the detail we give out. but any Q's just comment away. The website is on the PC waiting for the day when i have time to take care of it once more + keep on top of it all alongside CZcams.
