5 Non Diving Items I Use Every Dive
Though we are based in Florida, Hawaii, California, and Michigan have 100 ft and 300 ft ocean and lake underwater coral reef, shipwreck, cave diving, freediving, scuba diving, and rebreather trips. To learn full face mask, beginner scuba diver, advanced scuba diver, tech scuba diver, cave diver you can reach out to a professional scuba diver. Everyone should get scuba diving insurance with Divers Alert Network.
We support all types of diving products, like a full face mask, fins, BCD, dive computer, regulators, closed circuit rebreather, underwater scooter, from many companies like Simply Scuba, Mares, Dive Rite, Cressi, Zeagle, Huish, Hollis, Scubapro, Shearwater, Garmin. - Sport
I usually bring the following when diving that are not going down with me.
1 - Dry sac. You know, because we are near a wet place and not all things should get wet. I put keys, maybe ID, tip for crew/boat in there, etc.
2 - Phone/camera for above water shots or even surface level pics.
3 - towel poncho. This is a game changer for me.
4 - sunglasses and hat. I like to dive where it's most often sunny.
5 - ocean friendly sunscreen as I am just this side of porcelain and wish to enjoy all of my diving and vacation days.
I now carry a mesh bag to load my gear onto a boat from my travel dive bag. A small dry sac would be a great addition for tee shirt and phone, etc.
Am in Victoria, Vancouver Island. Tons of shore diving, some with long walks. A gear buggy is a godsend for an old guy with a bad back or knees. Ogden Point Breakwater is a 1km walk to the very end to dive there. Everything goes in the buggy and because we are in dry suit teritory, there is lots of lead. Who wants to carry all that.
2nd best item, a 20qt cooler full of HOT WATER. After an hr in 7C water, dumping a jug of hot water on ones head is glorious. Nice place to place ones hands. Lights, computers, regs, mask, spools all get immediate warm water rinse after the dive. The warm water is used to rinse off all my gear.
We use a normal wooden hangers with pipe insulation foam around it.
That way it is cheap and not damaging our wet suits and also open space inside the wet suit to dry out and being strong (even in the sun or heat wood doesn't get very fragile (water isn't a problem too because it is impregnated)
You can not forget Crocs! Best after/between dives-shoes. Especially when in dry suit and think socks.
Absolutely agree in principle, but Crocs, really? Had a pair, loved them for indoor, but on wet ground they just turn into suicide skates. They're selling them as boat shoes as well, which is absurd, imho.
My Croc sandals lost all wet traction once they got some wear on the soles. Suicide skates 🤣🤣🤣 Precisely!!!
I personally like using my Keen sandals when walking around, especially since they have good treads
I also have used a sanitizing spray for years, it gets Iooks when I used it. I started using rental gear which I did not trust once I saw their post-dive procedure.
Great new intro James-groovy! I'm recently open water certified and have been watching your videos religiously to learn even more before I start diving up here in the Northeast this upcoming season! Thank you for the fantastic videos, they are a tremendous resource to the newbies like me in this awesome sport.
Glad you like them!
Where in the northeast? Anywhere near Portland Maine and I would meet up!
When you said Square Grouper, thats not what I expected!
I DIY'd a shoulder saver hanger by using a wooden hanger and adding trimmed giant pool noodle on the shoulders. Most hangers last me 3 years before I somehow manage to break the hook interface.
Ondansetron - I always have it with me, if you're on a chunder express even with a cast iron stomach some times when you get pavement pizza on your bootie - it's tough, so I always carry Ondansetron and a dry shirt.
That is Rx in USA
My buddy of mine has in his pick up tailgate a 15 gallon with an air compressor so we can rinse all his gears with fresh water before to go home reaaaaaaly neet setup!
love the intro, nice and quick. I like creators that get to the actual content quickly. thanks James
Love the new intro...Great information. Thanks.
Great info as always. Thanks for sharing.
Short and sweet intro, I like it. Here’s to making Scuba this year!
Love the new intro, James. Great track!
great ideas i just ordered the shoulder savers
Love the new intro and your channel, been binge watching to catch up.
Big fan of the intro! I've been watching for a while and 2022 is the year I begin diving after being gifted certification expenses for Christmas.
Good clip Jamesy. Happy New Year.
Love the Jellyfish shot in your intro!
Happy New Year James n family..
Thanks James for some of those helpful hints.
Be safe and keep it real
Cheers
Brad
thanks, you too
Great first video of 2022 ( never even thought of the blow gun.. thanks)... I wish you and your family an AWESOME 2022. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
Happy New Year 🍾🎉 💥 James!!
Congratulations 👏 on your 2021 success. Heres to having a more successful 2022!! Thanks to your wife and you for the hard work!! Cheers 🍻
Interested in the TecBnB.
Hi Michael, sure thing! Shoot me an email please: james@miamitechnicaldiving.com
Nice video, happy new year to you from sunny Greece!!!
Great new intro! Short but popping!
Vibing to the new intro, here's to another year of diving!
Love the new Intro!
Like the the new intro. Short and sweet.
I like the intro James 👍🏽
Happy new Year
Look Foward to ur new year Video Content
Love your Work 🤿
Great stuff and love the shorter intro
Mahalo for the great videos and info. Nice new intro. 🏖🤿🦈🌊🦭🤙🍍🌈
Thank you kindly Brian!
Loving the new intro!! It's a bit funky :D
Yay, thank you!
Nice list man
Better intro, not as long as before so dont need to skip it )
Good tips as always James
New Intro is great.
Nice short title sequence.
I like your Mowlies on the tool board behind you.
thanks
I’m going to check out that square grouper bag 🤙 I’m currently using the AO cooler bag
Being in the pac NW, I pack a propane powered water heater / shower unit (designed for camping showers) to rinse off my gear afterwards and a 5 gallon bucket.
Great tips again. I’d love to see how you clean your camera gear post dive.
All my dives thus far have been local (Caribbean life), we use vegetable crates that are very similar to the milks crates. I also keep a plastic bin, about the same size as the crate, in my trunk to rinse gear after a dive. The hangers are important, one is enough for me, just got a wetsuit and a bcd on it. Never thought about the air gun, not sure I will need it just as yet. Steramine seems like a useful item, I’ll look into that before the next dive weekend.
Watching while packing my crate
Love the new intro¡
thanks
Love the short intro
Pelican 1060 Dry box for phone/ wallet/ keys/ etc.
The 2022 intro vibes HARD
Thanks for the video James. Can you talk about cleaners used to rinse dive gear? Does Steramine work in place of some of the other dive specific cleaners?
1. Magic eraser, cleans your wetnotes/slate
2. Multipurpose oil, food-safe, can be used for anything squeaky, rusty, hair...
3. Hamam towel- can be used as blanket, scarf, robe, hair towel or storage bag
4. Outdoor multi-tool
5. 4mm elastic thread, repairs everything
Awsome intro.
Fantastic new intro
Glad you like it
Love the intro
Happy New Year!!!
I use a tub without holes to chuck my dive gear in, that way I can put it in the car and it doesn't drip and I can use it to rinse gear afterwards too.
If using a swimming pool in the off-season, I always take eye drops as chlorine can dry the eyes.
Wax bar for zippers on wshorty, wetsuit, drysuit and zipper on booties (after dive) to keep lubed
Liked the intro
The crates are rigid and can get in the way. They work in certain circumstances but also consider a mesh bag, especially if none of your gear is fragile. You can dip them in the rinsing boxes and when you're diving they stowaway to practically nothing.
+1 vote for the air gun! love that thing.
i actually made a video how to replace the microUSB port with a USB-C port. it's 2022, let's get rid of those old cables!
as for coat hangers, i use pool noodles on a regular hanger. works great :D
My Easy washer. Rinse all camera gear and computer direct after the dive. After that i flush myself.
Thanks for sharing.
towel poncho
If you soak and rinse your booties in Staramine it will take the stink out and they will smell fresh again.
Because I have long hair my favorite non diving item is conditioner!
And care spray for salty hair
@@emmylee8862 Dilute J&J baby shampoo, also a great defogger that does not wear off.
I got an Air forced battery anger for my dry suite kind of handy to
Intro is solid on brand kinda fun. Thanks for not making a 14 min intro that gives viewers carpal tunnel skipping forward
2020 Intro: 17 seconds
2021 Intro: 15 seconds
2022 Intro: 12 seconds
Getting better!
Not related to your post but, would love to get your opinion/review on full-face dive masks.
I prefer the old royalty free music. Video is good.
Heavily diluted baby shampoo, best defogger and real cheap.
#askdiversready My buddy and I are currently in the process of building our own dive storage / gear cleaning stations and I like your tips for cleaning different types of gear and was inspired by your dive locker, but I would really like to see the entire process you go through from getting out of the water to stashing the last item in your storage locker with multiple sets of gear so I can see the order, which things have separate dedicated buckets, how long some stuff is left to soak, what things go to intermediate drying outside and what structures you use for this. I feel like stuff needs to be built with the exact gear cleaning flow in mind and I’d like to get a sense for how the experts do it because though there are some things we’re pretty wedded to about our process, I often feel like we get lazy and delay some part of our gear cleaning because the current process has some clunkiness (eg I often needlessly put on a wet 7mm because I have forgotten mine in the rinse bucket after dumping it there and running for the hot tub and we have definitely gone diving two days in a row many times just so we can tell ourselves we don’t need to rinse the inside of the BCDs, even though we do have a hose attachment that hooks to the inflator and we basically never rinse our tanks and weights because those go from trunk straight to garage). I really hope we can engineer our way into reducing our laziness.
Answer coming in our next Channel Update/Dive Instructor Q&A video!
Anyone know if Steramine is the same as Milton in the UK? Particularly as to the non-affect on o-rings?
I've been thinking about going to DIT to get certified as a diver do you have any experience with divers from DIT or experience yourself?
Would mirazyme or 'Sink the Stink' do anything for regs, or are those just wetsuit/BCD products?
Interesting idea for a video. Even though the video went up moments ago, the affiliate link to Amazon for the wet suit hanger and I do need a few of those is no good. Perhaps you will fix that. Here is an idea for 2022, how about a discount code for the products you feature in your videos from those manufacturers ? They get to sell some extra product, your subscribers get a perk and your channel grows. Keep up the good work in 2022. All the best to you and your family.
Can anyone point me in the direction of an equivalent alternative to Steramine that would be available in the UK? As this seems to be a US only product. Cheers.
sadly Steramine is impossible to get outside of US without paying exorbitant on shipping and clearance 😔
$48.50 900 tablets for 900 gallon /3406 litre water ( without shipping and import tax )
in France
$77.26 SEPTIONE MATÉRIEL PRO 5L / 1.32 gallon for 264 gallon / 1000litre water 🤦♂
ça va, 50$ pour plus de 3000 litres, ça reste très raisonnable, ça fait 0.016€ le litre
@@AlexDerange ça n'est compte pas frais livraison + frais douane, il faut x2.5 la prix
Hi James. As per DAN, they don't endorse Steramine as it isn't included in the EPA’s “List N” thus it is not an effective disinfectant against COVID19. What could be the other options? They say a bleach solution works best but won't that be harmful to our gear?
I use Milton baby steriliser tablets on the theory that if they're gentle enough to use on baby bottles, etc, then they're gentle enough for my regs 😁
My 5
Baby shampoo
Proper wetsuit hanger
( yours look better 😆)
Plastic bag
Key safe
Wetsuit tub ( storage and washing)
I’ve just used Saniderm for the first time and now I’m thinking this might need to go into my dive travel first aid kit, possibly replacing mole skin. Any thoughts?
Have you done a video focusing on a dive travel first aid kit?
The shoulder saving hanger shows unavailable on amazon
Oh no! Try Dive Right In Scuba.
My Oxygen analyzer 🇨🇦
Am I the only one that prefers the old intro?
I prefer the old music but the shorter video.
You couldn't pay me to look in to the second stage of the reg lmao, I'm going to choose to remain ignorant and continue to rent
I do not look but have sprayed for many years. With covid-19 I may have to finally buy a setup.
@@toriless I don't trust other people treating the gear like it should, so I had my own long before C-19
