Jim,
I don't think that it looks "dumb" at all to go over a check list before a 
dive.  Pilots do it and would be criticized, rightly, if they did not.  Going 
over a check list just might help keep a diver from forgetting something that 
might be important.  I know once or twice I have had to yell up to my partner 
on the boat to hand down my weight belt because I jumped into the water 
without it.  If I had been using my check list that would not have happened, 
but I was in a hurry...

Regards,
Dale

 my kit squared away. This check list is an attempt to have the first dive as
 good as the second. It may look a little dumb, sitting there with your list,
 but I don't care, it's better than blowing a dive. I really recommend it.
