Typically you don't want to tie things down....they can drown you if they get tangled. A lot of guys I work with have to fight the same urge and eventually accept that every once in a while they will lose a dive tool. Most of your gear will be worn, things that you keep in an accessory pocket can be tied down with string or something breakable if you really desire. You should not tie down your dive tool as you may not be able to get it out when you need it (strange tangles happen in the water). Some people tie their masks to their BC's, but it really isn't an issue for recreational diving.
Just about everything else won't just 'float away' without your notice. If you lose a fin, for instance, it is pretty obvious and it will just hang out until you grab it and put it back on. Likewise with just about everything else you actually need.
....but everything does need to be secure. Just no 550 cord!
