Tomorrow I’m going on vacation with my girlfriend to the island Kos in Greece. While it will not be a full freediving vacation, for sure I will do some recreational freediving sessions. So the bag with freediving gear will go with me.
To make sure I don’t forget any stuff, I’ve got several lists for different purposes. This time I use the list ‘Meditterean Recreational’ which consists of the following:
- Wetsuit: 2,5 mm Eliossub
- Fins: Cressi-sub Gara 2000
- Mask: Cressi-sub Superocchio (x2 for spare)
- Snorkel: Sporasub Samurai (x2 for spare)
- Weight: 4 times 0,5 kilo low profile lead / Rubber Weight belt
- Canon Ixus 700 digital camera + underwater house
- Swimming trunks
- Fin bag
Only once I forgot something to bring with me on vacation. Since then I always use lists. While it is easy to get a snorkel or new mask when diving in France or Spain, it’s not so much easy to get a good freediving mask in the Maldives! That’s why I use lists to check if I didn’t forget anything that could ruin my vacation.
Other lists I’ve got:
- Pool Training
- Outdoor Training Netherlands
- Meditterean Training
- Meditterean Recreational
- Tropic Training
- Tropic Recreational
Some difference in the lists consists in type of freediving fins I bring, different wetsuits and cold protection, training materials, etc. Do you use lists like this? If so, what’s on your list?
