lost or stolen deco bottle

Yeah but ya missed the point.........use cat pee....no feds involved....use sarin and out comes homeland security people

Fill it with Argon. If they decide to breathe off of it underwater, they'll end up passing out. What happens at that point is simply a matter of fate.

Well we couldn't be that lucky.....but you know how thieves are.....they grab and run....I doubt they use it for diving.....Jus grab and run

I have a 63 cf AL that was one of the recall cylinders by Luxfer, it has an old unserviceable valve on it and I use it as a door stop in my workshop... anyone has an old crappy reg we can attach to it?

Then again, I think it would be interesting to do a search of pawn shops within a 50 mile radius of the springs, I bet there are not too many of those thieves that are going to actually go diving with the stuff but can get some pretty decent beer or drug money from pawning a stage and reg...

Dive safe,

I was wondering what does the state park has to offer more than Ginnie?? A required buddy to dive with ?

Maybe I should get AL a state park pass

Safe diving,

Well, for $85, I have access to 5 parks that offer cave/cavern diving, & those are just the ones that I know of offhand. Also note that I didn't say that the state parks offered "more" than Ginnie. What they do have to offer is a much lower price for a larger choice of systems. Ginnie offsets that to some extent by such things as allowing solo diving (if that is what you want), having an onsite dive shop, yada yada.

Don't get me wrong, you guys have a really great cave site, & awesome amenities, but as a customer, it kind of bites to be told that cave divers are not the major bacon bringer for Ginnie, and that we should just be grateful that we are allowed to dive there. So what are we, chopped liver?

Well do a bait thing set one out for someone to steal then stand back and watch, then when they hit the bait whooop that a$$ to they are in a coma then give them the 02 they tried to steal from you.

At no time, I agreed that we should be thankfull for being allowed to dive at Ginnie. Nevertheless, I do beleive that $20 does not buy me a bodyguard for my gear. Espesially when half of that goes towards insurance agaist lawsuits.

Besides the other on site comodities, you and I as cavediver customers, get a few advantages over other costomers. For instance, dive fees for cave divers is less than OW. And for those who actually have annual passes things are even more conviniet.
On pick times during weekends, I have seen Ginnie employees litterally ingoring campers, tubers, and hot chicks just to get a carpass and wrist bands to cavedivers. And that is when the average customer waits about 20 minutes to be told that he/she should fill paperwork rent a tube. Furthermore, tubers did not have a riot when Ginnie managment closed the Devil parking lot for everybody else but cave divers (that was during the floods). However, we as cave divers are always right because we dive on overhead enviroment and we don't use snorkels, and that makes as special.
I find so hard to undestand, why we are able to take great responsibilities while being in absolute darkness and hundered of feet from the nearest natural air supply, but cannot be responsible about our gear on the surface in midle of the day. Unfortunatly during summer Ginnie is busy as hell. It is up to us to either dive Ginnie and be aware of assholes thieves or dive a state park where you are asked to not exit the cave if you see a manattee swiming around (of course Peacock is different story).

But anyway, we both are waisting our time, because complaining is adictive and makes you feel good. Even if ginnie puts a sniper on the roof or brings SWAT, we will find something else to complain like having someone to carry our deco bottles and someone else to zip our drysuit.

Why give them to O2 to begin with?? Unless you give it to their ass
