I recommend to do a search on this forum because this has already been dicussed at length.

But to get you started:

scrim
2 spare sets of batteries
spare solenoid + instructions on how to install it
hose repair kit
spare o-rings (hose, cannister, manual inflator, adv, mouth piece)
inner tube to repair a hole in a hose
all the necessary allan keys
silicon grease
hose removal tool
spare hose

HTH,

Peter

Hi,

I would add to what Peter said the following:

- 2 Extra oxygen cells (1 opened and 1 sealed)
- O2 compatible lubricant
- Depending on the quality of air they have but I would take a small personal filter as I personally can't be cautious enough when being suspicious.
- Disinfection liquid, powder or tablets (for disinfecting the counter lungs and loop hoses)

Best Regards. Wael

The lists above pretty much cover it, short of taking a total spare box you can only expect so much.

I had never of thought about taking some inner tube - nice idea.

Hope you enjoy your trip - where are you going exactly?

We are off to the sound of Mull for 4 days using Lochaline Boats, We did the same trip ast year, the weather was awful but the diving was excellent , really good viz and quiet dive sites.

Very nice!

Do you fancy writing a quick 'over-view' after the week?

I'm interested in doing some new stuff in the UK.

What sort of dpeths are they?

It’s not deep stuff, there are a lot of open circuit sports divers in the club , some of the wrecks are on this website http://www.divemagazine.co.uk/news/article.asp?UAN=4266&v=5&sp=332897698662344505414

I can thoroughly recommend this area - wonderful diving.

Not much to add on the spares, as the list is similar to what I take - not had a problem yet with mine that needed them (touch wood).

Cheers,

Is it a long weekend over Easter? I'm off there tomorrow, we're on Silver Swift out of Tob.
I'll be on my Kiss Classic.

Might see you there.

We are up there on the May Bank Holiday, good luck with the weather this weekend it isnt looking very good at the moment, although you can usually get some diving done in the Sound.
