Mine didn't. Get a JBL shock cord. They come integrated with dyneema line or as stand alone.

Here's the integrated, works beautifully:

I have this one and love it. Bring extra bands no matter what you get. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Breakdown-Travel-Polespear-6/dp/B0000DYTOH

I fully Recommend this kit, They last pretty much as long as the OEM GoPro batteries (about 5-10 min less depending).

ninja edit= some math I had wrong so I redacted a statement.

Having thrashed many pairs of gloves i would highly recommend Cressi Tropical gloves

Yeah, what laugh it up fuzzball said. I have a spyderco H1 and I love it, but even if it was a fixed blade I wouldn't bring with with me on dives. It's too easy to lose stuff down there. Not to mention, I use my knives for more than just cutting and braining. I pry scallops and cut up urchins and shit with them; wouldn't want to do that with other knives.

However, what I would like is a small, easy access knife for my forearm that I would only use for braining and emergency cutting. Like the predathor. I would pay about 60-70 for a knife that size and made of H1-like steel for sure. Especially if the knife was sure to not pull out of the sheath on accident.

I bought this book for my saltwater aquarium. A lot of info in there.

This if he dives average temps, otherwise this is a must no matter what. You can do a search for any kevlar dive gloves though...

While this isn't recommended at all, I've been in the same situation. What pound mono are you trying to crimp? Also what style of gun do you have it on and what kind of fish are you planning on shooting?

1. Slide one side of the crimp onto the mono then slide the tag end of the mono through whatever you're trying to make a loop around.
   
2. Now slide the tag end of the mono through the other side of the crimp, pull it through about 3-4 inches.
   
3. Get a lighter and heat up just the very tip of the mono. This should make the end of the mono swell into a ball.
   
4. Once the tag end cools down, snug it up against the crimp. It shouldn't slip through the crimp. This is an added measure since you won't be able to gauge your crimping pressure very well.
   
5. When you use the pliers to crimp, the goal is to make the crimp snug on the mono, but if you crimp too hard it will cut the mono and the connection will be extremely weak. Only crimp in the middle of the crimp, not toward the edges. On your crimp there are two "barrels" when you squeeze with the pliers the barrels should be on top of each other not side by side.
   
   Tip: don't make the loop tiny. You should be able to fit you pinky through the loop after you are done crimping.
   
   
   Also, a set of crimpers can be found for ~$25 on Amazon or online tackle shop. Don't lose the fish of a lifetime because you skimped out on $25.
