I like to wear sandles when jumping for several reasons. The first reason is the takeoff is usually not really smooth and soft. Instead, there's usually little sharp rocks and pebbles to slip on. These provide some nice traction at the takeoff. Secondly, since you usually land feet first, these will save the bottoms of your feet from a nasty slapping. It really hurts to jump and land barefoot. And lastly, as you're climbing back up to go again, its nice to have these instead of trying to scale rocks barefoot.

A full length wetsuit is a great thing to have. There are several reasons for this. The most obvious one is simply for themal protection. It keeps you warm while you're trying to swim back to shore. The second one is that it is great for protecting your skin when you screw up and land sideways or something like that (check this out to see it happen). Having a wetsuit on when this happens will save you some nasty red marks.

Its nice to have a dry towel for drying off and warming up. Especially since some of the places (like Lake Serene) have very, very cold water.

This is always a good thing to have with you if you go outdoors away from civilization. I carry some simply things like band-aids, gauze, and antibacterial wipes.
