The specification uses the word "groups", but I don't really like this because groups seems to imply that an item belongs to a single group. I prefer "sets". My Suunto dive computer, for example would be part of both my "UK Cold Water" set, and my "Tropical" set, as I use it wherever I go. > > - we could have a view or dialog with all equipments > - users would be able to 'drag and drop' items from this view/dialog to > the equipment tab > ... and drag and drop complete sets too.

I could see most categories containing just a single item (or perhaps a choice of 2): Lighting: - NDiver X3 Torch - Umbilical HID Emergency - Strobe - Whistle - Diver Alert Breathing Gear - Regs - Cylinder - Guage/Console Maybe something like that could work.

I think that function needs to win over form here, but would like to hear input from others.
