On a side note. Always make sure your grab back is bouyant. For instance
water bottles should not be full and should have lanyards. Then they will
float and not sink if lost overboard.


Excellent idea. Do they make them with floats in them or other means to
keep
them afloat or do you have to make sure of that yourself after you equip
it?

There are floating ones available like this

However there is not a great deal of room in them. There would be nothing
wrong with useing something larger and adding some closed cell foam inside.
