"Once you have the BC unit all setup ready to go, you want to pack the rest of your stuff. What I usually like to do, to make sure everything is in one place all secure in case it tips over or whatever, is to put it in one big bag like this, like a lobster bag or a goody bag of some sort with something like a little bit of a clasp or some way to hold it shut, just in case it tips it's all locked into one place. And what I do when I'm out in the water and I'm about to do my dive, is I get everything on in the reverse order, like that I will need it, so I'll pack in that order too. Since I put on my mask last, it goes in the bag first. My gloves are after that, so I put them in, in the very bottom. Usually I put my hood on towards the start of the dive, so I"ll put that in as well up here, and my fins, since they're kind of big and bulky, so they just kind of go wherever, they get tossed in here as well. Once it's all secured and you can put your cameras in here, whatever you want to, water, snacks, whatever, whatever you might need during the dive, it's all in one bag ready to go, and this would go into the bow, the front half of the boat, and to be latched down somehow in that area.
