lost or stolen deco bottle

[phishfood]

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.

Yeah, we both have had our say, so I am going to stop complaining now.

Now about that sniper on the roof.....

Never mind, we have Sid!

Well, every day now I keep seeing that a new post has arrived to my thread here. At first I thought that someone may have known what happened to the bottle. But no, no. I have obviously lost hope by now.


I really appreciate everyone's concern - especially those willing to commit murder to keep people from stealing more of my tanks.

Well too bad deco bottles were not like this guys camera below:

On July 23 at approximately 9:30 am, my dive partner and I descended
on the Bibb in Key Largo. When we reached the sand [ 134 ft ], we
both realized the Moto-Marine underwater camera was no longer
strapped to my dive partner's arm. The current going down the line
was ripping - as usual! When we reached the sand, the ship had
blocked the current. I looked around in the sand and could not see
the camera. At that depth, even on 28% NITROX, our bottom time was
short. We headed up to the 90 ft level and kept looking for the
camera. No Luck.

Last night, my dive partner got a phone call from a diver in Delray
Beach. While diving during mini-season, July 27, this diver found
the camera and attached phone number and called.

Key Largo -> Delary Beach = @ 116 miles
July 23 - July 27 = 4 days = 96 hours
116 miles / 96 hours = 1.2 mph

I really have a hard time believing that this heavy camera [ no
strobe, just the camera ] stayed afloat in the current!!

If you have time check out the local pawn shops. I bought a lot of four reels off of Ebay three years ago. One of them was a reel that went missing on me. Still had my name on it. Cindy

FRAT PRANK, I will sell it back to you for half price.

maybe if you guys wouldn't put those silly markings on the tanks then the thief would use it, tox, and die, then the sheriff would get it back to you.

That was cold.... did you tell the seller that at least one was a stolen item?

Knock on wood, we have only lost one reel, it was a red primary from DR, had names all over it (stamped on the metal at that), lost at Peacock, I think we may have left it on a picnic table. No one returned it or left it with the ranger or at Cathy's where things misplaced find their way sometimes.

That was about 4 years ago. Now we do a full sweep to insure nothing is left behind nor anything missing before leaving, call me paranoid....

Dive safe,

Well, I have got a double serving of humble pie in front of me, and once I am done with that, I think I will warm up some crow & eat that too.

Last night my buddy & I got out of Ginnie Spring after a dive. I walked up to the gear table, got out of my harness, unclipped & removed all of the various bits of gear from my person & the harness, got back into my harness & carried my tanks, regs, etc. to my truck, put them in the truck, got out of my wetsuit, dried off & left.

Fast forward to this morning. I am almost to Peacock, Ginnie calls, "Hey dude, we have your gear here". "Huh? What gear?!" He describes it, and almost immediately, I realize that I left my masks, 2 reels, a spool, a thigh pocket, fins, AND a dive computer sitting on the bench last night. Someone, I think that it was a Ginnie employee, found it & turned it in. If someone knows who that person is, please let me know. I owe them a large quantity of their favorite adult beverage next time I am up there.

Anyway, I gotta go, lots of foul tasting pie left.....

There are so many patrons at Ginnie any given weekend that it would be impossible for them to watch everyone. The best thing to do is keep honest people honest and lock your stuff up, and don't leave anything un-attended.
