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...

Why this is, I think, is that it takes me a "warm up" dive to get 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.
