Tired of losing tools underwater, I began clipping everything to my belt.

Now I finish jobs faster without searching for dropped gear.

Yeah totally, and that's how you end up with a whole jungle of gear hanging off you that gets caught on every ladder rung or pipe. I found a sweet spot by only clipping the big, expensive items I really can't lose, like my wrench and light. The smaller stuff goes in a pouch so it's still handy but not dangling everywhere. You gotta find that balance between secure and actually being able to move around down there.

Too many clips just get in the way sometimes.

Wait, you clip a wrench? That thing is heavy and bulky! I can't imagine it swinging around while you're trying to squeeze through tight spots. One time I saw a guy get his wrench caught on a valve and it nearly yanked him off his feet. You're brave for trusting a clip with that much metal.
