I made a bonehead move on Sunday at P-1. I was hobbling a bit on a sore ankle after the dive and may have set my fins, mask and hood down out of my normal procedures. By doing so I may have left it all behind.
If anyone found these items please contact me. You can PM me here or give mmcauliffe a call, he has my phone number.
Thanks!!
All black, sitting on the left side bench, when facing the stairs? They were still there when we left about 4ish. Good luck, I bet one of the rangers noticed them, will see your post, and you'll have them back in no time.
I hope your ankle is better soon.

Thanks Shirley,
I'm sure that's where I left them... And that's also why I forgot them since I never set stuff down like that. Mike called me tonight and he said he spoke to Janet at the Christmas party, and Rick when he was at work. No luck...
Ankle's getting better. I just pushed harder than I should have that day. I'm off tomorrow to buy new gear I guess... only grumble is I'll end up paying retail... Know a good shop down near Orlando?
Well, there's that giant shop over on I-Drive....Diver's Direct, I want to say. They don't cater to cavers but they've got mask and fins for sure.
There's another shop....I can't remember the name, reccomended to me by the owner of Scubaboard near there. Somethign like "Wet'n'Fla" scuba?
Suzanne,
Jahjahwarrior is spot on. Divers Direct on I-Drive is good, as is Phil at Wet-N-Fla (happens to be my LDS). Feel free to PM me for directions or alternate suggestions.
Glad to hear you're doing better. I hope your gear turns up soon.
Shirley
Hey thanks!!! Wet-n-Fla was one of the shops that I actually was looking at. It's about a mile from where my mom works and she had to run in to the office tomorrow. I'll go in there and talk to Phil -I'll tell him that both of you referred me.
I looked at Divers Direct but it dosen't look like they carry ScubaPro and I love my Jet fins.... and I'm a sucker for the old 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' saying!
Fellow cave divers are so good about turning in items left behind...I'm surprised somebody took them. I talked with some others at the Christmas party and they are pretty sure they remember seeing your stuff on the bench @ P1 as well. There was enough divers coming and going that they didn't think anything of it.
Maybe a call over to Bill's later today when he opens, someone may have left them there.
I left my armadillo behind at Ginnie one time, (2) safety reels, (2-3) gap spools, (2) Scout back-up lights on the rig. It was hand delivered to me...I bet the look on my face was something to see, my jaw about hit the ground when I was approached at CEE..."Is this yours?"
Hopefully the one that found them will get with the Christmas spirit and get them back to you.

Yes, I like the bold snaps much better than the woosie ones.Quote:

In other words I still have my fingers crossed! :)
