# Your kit: own or rent

> Mark which gear you own and which you'll rent. Each tap saves at once and fills your packing list and the paperwork you send a dive shop.

Your kit is your answer, item by item, to "do you bring this or does the shop supply it?" In settings, tap **my kit**; the page has the same name. Tap **own** or **rent** on each row. There's no save button: every tap is saved straight away, and the answers fill your packing list and your dive shop paperwork.

<Note>
  Your kit is separate from your gear list. Marking an item **own** here doesn't add it to [Track your gear](/docs/gear/gear-list), and adding gear there doesn't mark it owned here. The kit says what you bring on a trip; the gear list tracks individual pieces and their servicing. The empty gear list says the same: "this list is separate from my kit in settings: adding gear here doesn't mark it as your own there".
</Note>

## Open the page

* **From settings:** tap **my kit** under **diving**.
* **From home:** when a trip is coming up and essentials have no answer, home shows a line such as "3 essentials have no answer". Tap it.
* **From the paperwork page:** tap the **equipment** row.
* **From the packing list:** tap **choose equipment**.
* **During setup:** it's the third step.

When you arrive from a warning on home or the paperwork page, the rows that still need an answer are highlighted.

## Mark your kit

Each row has two buttons, **own** and **rent**.

* Tap **own** if you'll bring it. **Borrowing counts as own**: if a friend lends you a regulator, you're still bringing it, so mark it **own**.
* Tap **rent** if the shop will supply it. A tank the dive shop or boat provides counts as **rent**.
* Tap the button that's already on to turn it off. The item goes back to unmarked.

Gear you don't use and won't rent (a drysuit in the tropics, a speargun) can stay unmarked.

The rows are grouped into **basics**, **life support**, **exposure protection**, **extras** and **papers & personal**. The **papers & personal** rows (**certification**, **nitrox card** and **medication**) have a single **bring** button instead, because no shop can supply them. The first time you open the page, **certification** is already marked to bring.

Once you've marked something, the top of the page shows a summary such as "6 of your own · 3 to rent".

## The essentials

Nine items need an answer, own or rent, before your paperwork is complete: **bcd**, **regulator**, **octopus**, **tank**, **weightbelt**, **pressure gauge**, **computer**, **mask** and **fins**.

Each unanswered essential shows **needs an answer** under its name. Once you've started marking, the top of the page also lists what's left: "still to mark, owned or rented", followed by the items. Unanswered essentials also appear on home's trip checklist and on the paperwork page.

## Sizes for rentals

A shop can't hand you a wetsuit without knowing your size. When you mark **bcd**, **fins**, **wetsuit**, **drysuit**, **hood** or **gloves** as **rent**, the row shows **needs a size**. If you haven't recorded that size yet, the top of the page says "the shop will need a size for" those items, and a **sizes** section appears at the foot of the page. Tap **units & sizes** there to fill them in, then come back.

## What your kit feeds

| Where | What it uses |
| - | - |
| [Packing list](/docs/trips/packing-list) | Items you own or bring become things to pack; items you rent become things to arrange with the shop |
| [Paperwork](/docs/trips/paperwork) | The own and rent answers and your rental sizes, for the dive shop |
| [Gear used on a dive](/docs/logbook/dive-equipment) | Items you own or rent are pre-ticked the first time you open a dive's **gear used** |
| [Home](/docs/get-started/home) | Unanswered essentials and rentals missing a size, when a trip is coming up |

Your kit is saved on your phone the moment you tap and kept with your account, so it comes back when you sign in on another phone.

## Clear all

**clear all** appears at the top right once you've marked anything. It sets every item back to unmarked.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap clear all">
    Tap **clear all** at the top of **my kit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    The app asks "clear your whole kit?". Tap **clear all** to go ahead, or **cancel**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Clearing your kit takes effect immediately and can't be undone. You'll need to mark each item again.
</Warning>

The confirmation says your packing list and paperwork will list no gear until you mark it again, and that custom items, certifications and insurance stay. The paperwork still includes your certifications and insurance.
