2/3mm shorty wetsuit and a dive snorkel, snorkel bag with a pair of Poseidon dive boots that look like Chuck Taylors.
Brand new Aqualung Pro travel BCD, Mares Avantix open heel fins for boots, UV and anti-glare mask (for the bad eye), octopus, Mares Quattro full foot fins. These used to be my fins of choice. The thrust they generate is ridiculous, but they are rigid and really long. I do a lot of swim through diving on reefs and wearing them I am over 8 and a half feet long from the top of my forehead to the tips of my fins. It can be quite difficult to turn a 90 degree corner in a tight space without touching something, which one never wants to do.
Snorkel snorkel, dive computer, dive watch, trim pockets for fine tuning one's buoyancy, inflatable surface marker and a whistle one hopes to never have to blow. They are beyond deafening.
Sea Life camera, dive housing, super wide angle converter and strobe, TG5 and 6 and a TG6 dive housing, Open water and Advanced Open water coursebooks, PADI /Dive Log and PADI AOW card, and lying on it's side up by the fins is a moderately expensive dive compass.
That's not even all of it. I have two more pairs of fins, another mask, various rash guards, fish ID books and a growing collection of dive disaster books.
"Dive equipment" which happens to be from RADO.

Love it! Congrats, Hank!
Cheers!
It is kind of why I bought it. I don't think I'd buy a 45mm watch if it was only for everyday wear. When talking with Robert about it, I was being entirely truthful when I said I wanted it specifically to take to the bottom of the ocean.
