Buying a boatload of bolt snaps might be the best scuba hack there is.
The official version goes for over $20. Knockoffs cost around $2-4. You can give them away as tips. Give them as gifts to endear buddies to you. And they prevent you from losing your gear!
Double snaps are probably the most used because they’re the easiest to use. You will end up using way more of them than you can imagine. Lots of gear has some sort of loop on it and it’s way too easy to lose gear underwater.
Bolt snaps with a small loop are ideal for any gear that you want a compact way to not lose, like lights, gauges, regulators etc. Here’s a guide for how to attach them.
Bolt snaps with a large loop are ideal if you want an additional way to grab your gear. For instance sidemount divers use these to attach their tanks.
It may sound crazy, but based on my personal usage I would recommend buying 20 double snaps and 10 small loop snaps if you plan on diving a lot.
