Ultralight Warm Water Dive Gear: My Setup

Here’s a look at the scuba gear I currently use when I need to travel ultra light to a tropical location that has heavily constrained weight restrictions. I have to adapt a little by taking less spare equipment and non-optimal weight placement.

This page reflects my personal experience and preferences based on my diving style, training, and the conditions I dive in. Gear selection is highly individual, and what works for me may not be ideal for everyone. If you're unsure about equipment choices, I always recommend testing different options in real diving conditions before making a decision.
