Found second stage at henkel

Found second stage near henkel...left at cave country dive shop

[Pavão]

Again?????
How in the world do people loose a 2nd stage?

[Jarviz]

Hanging my head in shame, its mine. Came unscrewed off an extra bailout 80 I was carrying on Friday.
Saves us a dive tomorrow to look for it, thanks....

I didn't mean to shame anyone, sorry about that, I just find it to be just about the oddest thing to be lost DURING a dive. Obviously the tank was closed, probably bumped and purged, then the hose unscrews... what are the odds

I suggest investing in a wrench

I've never had it happen, but this isn't the first one I've found so I'll be checking my reg connections. No problem Jarviz!

i know it is a long time painful arguments but on stage bottles (on stages only) i follow recommendation to hand screw second stage. over the years i had only one time when it came useful but it did. of course there is risk of loosing it just like that.

Didn't someone lose a drysuit in Little River about fifteen years ago?

Isn't this the second or third time something like this has been reported in the last couple years..??

I've come back from a dive with the second dangling by a snorkel keeper attached to the valve, and the hose tucked neatly away. Pretty sobering to realize that if I needed to bail out, I would have had to deal with that first. Also, slightly embarrassing to have your buddy ask if its the newest trend to avoid free-flows by not connecting the second.
