Missing a backup light?

I found one on Saturday near the start of the goldline in the eye.

Let me know what you're missing and if it matches I'll send it to you.

I found one also, in about the same place. If you can describe it, you can have it.

This?

yep, Sam, I can probably get it back to him if you'd like. He also lost some backup lights in case anyone found some.

Huh? your backup lights for cave diving are in the same pocket, and one has a clip (you don't use I guess)? I don't recall that as proper gear configuration. And when you noticed that both were gone, did you turn the dive? Or did you even notice if they were gone during the dive? Who was your instructor?

Constructive criticism is fine folks, but sometimes it gets out of hand on the forum. We can all attest that everyone has a difference of opinion involving gear placement and or configuration. Peter is an avid, and excellent OC/CCR diver with thousands of dives that were considered "safe". Many of his dives were with me, as I choose dive with Peter over most, he clearly is a 1%er in the Cave Community...Hope that makes good sense to you.
I/we that participate in the CDF don't see the relevance of taking this and creating confrontation within the forum. In other words, if you don't have anything positive to say, don't say it at all. We have enough drama coming in from out of town, so try to minimize exposing yourself to further complications in the cave community.

Thanks in advance.

sorry, I don't buy it. A 1% in the cave community??? WTF is that? Sorry your post smacks of both a "can't happen to me " mentality as well as projecting a seriously arrogant attitude with a royal "i/we" thrown in for effect?

Glad your royal court doesn't see the relevance, except that somehow over the last few years we as a community have managed to trash a pretty darn good cave safety record in regards to trained cavern and cave divers compared to the 20+ years that preceded. Why? Some believe that we are giving a pass to stupidity because we don't want to hurt peoples feelings.

Plus, if you think think the drama in the cave diving community is brought about only by "coming in from out of town" then all I can do is shake my head. Frankly that "townie" mentality is sophomoric.

I reckon I have one of them. The one with no attachment. I think I'll be at peacock this weekend. I can drop it of at DO or CE. If that's no good PM me an address and I'll mail it to you.

Sounds like we may have sorted it out. Glad Peter jumped on to clarify.

[Draker]

Wow. A happy ending turned sour. Thanks Skip.
