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.

I actualy lost both my backup lights two small silver ones
one took a123's and the other took 3 aaa.

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.

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?

Wow. A happy ending turned sour. Thanks Skip.

[hunabku]

Skip, I'm trying to get someone there light back here not bash the way they dive.

If you want to do that start your own thread on light clipping. This is not the place for it.

I'm sorry for hijacking the thread, but when someone loses both backup lights and they are not carried correctly by any agency standards it seems to me the time and place to question the practice. I'm glad he/she got them back, but I'd still like to know the answers to my questions. right here, in this thread where the information originated. and while I'm thinking about it..."had a pocket ripped out??"

There's been threads here and other forums decrying the poor training, the poor skills, the poor knowledge of cave divers and their instructors and what should be done about it. Maybe asking questions is the place to start and not simply blowing it off.
