Things that I should try to remember for my next diving trip:
1) Tigi Catwalk Fast-Fixx Leave in Conditioner – This stuff is great for detangling hair following all that diving. Just spray it in and voila no more super nasty sea hair
2) Suunto D4 Dive computer & instruction book & USB cable
3) Laptop – To chart dive logs and look at photos
4) Various headbands – Even if your hair is detangled, it is always wet. Somehow headbands make it look nicer.
5) Swim Ear Drops – A must have for repetitive dives
6) An extra beach towel – Usually on liveaboards you are given 1-2 towels. It is always nice to have a “dry” towel for lounging around with.
7) Mighty bright light – Great for reading in your cabin without disturbing other people
8) 4 swimsuits – In order to rotate between dry and wet suits
9) Wet wipes or moist facial towels – Good for quick face cleaning when you wake up in the morning
10) Tweezers – Eyebrows seem to grow really long when you are in tropical waters
11) Sunblock & aloe vera – 15 & 30 SPF seem to be a good mix
12) iPod speakers – For sharing music with everyone
13) Loose cotton clothing
14) Sunglasses
15) Nytol – In case the boat is noisy
16) Paracetamol
17) Lots of books on the Kindle
18) Earplugs – A lifesaver
19) Eye mask – Darkness
