Lost helmet in Little River today

[techdvr]

Did anyone find a helmet in Little River today? Mine came undone somewhere between the entrance and the well casing this morning. It's blue with three Mini Q40s on it.

How does one go about loosing your helmet with lights on it in a cave?

and between the entrance and the well casing? quite a range of possibility! "It was there when I began, but when I got to the end it was nowhere to be seen! "

Disregard. Went back this morning and picked it up.

[metaldector]

Still on? If so, what kind of batteries are you using. Just curious.

[CaptainSpeleo]

Metaldector, the "Dive Rite LED" 7-bulb mini light that I use has about a 30-hour burn time with a set of AA alkaline batteries. My mask has 2 of them.

Techdvr, I'm also curious as to how a helmet disappears from your head during a cave dive and isn't noticed right away. We have to pick on you a little over this one. :wink:

[aw]

Disregard. Went back this morning and picked it up.

Was the head still inside? :lol:

[Reddiver]

Lost one set of 112 doubles from enterance to well case. Had to come out with stage bottle :cry: . But it was a good dive :lol: :lol:

[DIVEHYPE]

Hey Red, those doubles had bullet holes in them anyway. Not a big lost :-D .

[underh2o]

I saw a Cave Gnome wearing Dbl 112s draging his knee looking for a helmet.

[Cave Ranger]

Dang! Me and my dive buddys always wait until "after" the dive before drinking the magic mushroom tea.
I can see now that perhaps we need to rethink our dive planning. :-D

[Luxrok]

This is pure joy. I am glowing on the inside. How on God's earth do you lose your helmet and not realize it? Talk about the ultimate in Zen state. I am one with the cave.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This has made my day.
