We live and learn (hopefully). Here are a couple of things I learnt last year:
1. Silicone spray - useful for protecting & lubricating speargun rubbers, O-rings on torches, etc.. especially when stored for the winter. I often see this priced at ~£6 but Toolstation consistently has the best price I have seen: 400ml for £2.79 - check it out:

2. Weight-vest ballast - I have bags of lead-shot in my Mares weight vest. It gives a surprisingly organic lumpy texture to the vest, which probably helps camo BUT it takes a heck of a long time to dry (2x as long as the rest of my gear). The lead shot really seems to hold the water. So lead plates/dive weights might be a better option
Did you learn anything new last year? Any tips to share?
