Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.
A few minutes later, it came down again and a guy did retrieve it.
A good illustration of the need for redundancy in every system. It they'd had a spare they wouldn't have had to embarrass themselves by retrieving it. (Though I'd guess that they're probably not easily embarrassed.)
I have to wonder - was it in use when it was dropped? Jeano, was it turned on or off when you picked it up?
Only diving Ginnie in October and February, I miss out on seeing most of the bizarre behavior.

Now I know what those piercings with the little chains are for.
It's bad luck to be superstitious.
If it had happened at jb edd could have sold them some line and a bolt snap.
Do these come in a sidemount version? Is there a special certification, or can one be grandfathered for use if they received their Abe Davis prior to 1995?
So, did you do and underwater hand-over-hand dibs for it?

I think they make a retained type model. (so I've heard)
They were using the wrong equipment for the job.

LOL...maybe I do need to go to Ginnie when it's warm and filled with locals swimming, tubing, and whatnot.
