    Default Deco bottle borrowed

    Whoever moved my DECO Bottle from the ear to the eye at Gennie and breathed 1800 PSI out it I would appreciate an explanation.
    Last Monday I dove Gennie and entered from the ear. After an hour of diving a solo dive I had several minutes of deco. When I returned to the eye to retrieve my deco bottle it was not there. The bottle was in the cave system so no freediver would have been able to see it.
    I did my mandatory deco on my back gas and surfaced. After surfacing I looked at my gas and saw that I had enough to go into the eye and look there.I found my bottle and retrieved it. After surfacing I noticed that 1800 PSI were missing. I just had my bottle VIP and filled. I had and checked my gas before entering and I had 3000 PSI.
    If a diver was in trouble and needed my gas that is one thing. If that happens again you need to consider the diver that owns the bottle. After a long dive and added deco it is not fun to have to look for your tank. How about putting it back where you got it. I would have left my wet note there with an explanation.

    Wow.
    Assuming it's an AL40, that's a lot of O2 for a Ginnie dive too, I'm curious what happened now
