Bring a copy of your checklist with you to your dive destination. This is so you have a list to refer to when packing at the end of your holiday. It'll make sure you don't leave anything behind.
If you're using a camera bag, experiment with different configurations before you find the most space-effective one. Once you get it, draw it out and make a note of what goes into the smaller pockets. Bring a copy with you. This will save packing time later on.
