Spray Soap

squirt bottle

A small spray bottle of soap solution is an extremely useful item to have in your kit.

Much better than soap is baby shampoo. A solution of roughly 50% baby shampoo and 50% water is useful for many things:

  • Lubricating dry suit seals
  • Lubricating gloves and boots
  • Finding leaks in suits, hoses, etc
  • General cleaning-up

This is also the best mask defogger I have yet found - much better than anything you can buy, and it won't sting your eyes ( although it doesn't taste too good. )

There are probably a thousand other uses. Oh, and you can shower and wash your hair with it after the dive too. Works great on the dog as well.

Only unscented Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo is permitted. Ha ha ha, another joke. Joke. Joke, I said. Aw, forget it.
