I'm not sure if this should be under Near Misses or Humor or here, but here goes...
My family and I (the whole family tree) just got back from a cruise to Hawaii from LA. While there I got to do 3 days of diving, one of which was in Honolulu. I arranged to dive with Lisa and Roger of Oahu Scuba Divers. Lisa was supposed to pick me up at the intersection of Alamauna and Punchbowl. I told her I'd make myself easy to spot by inflating my SMB. Shortly before the arranged pick up time, Lisa called my cell phone to ask me to walk up Punchbowl a short way so I would not be at the intersection. After a bit, she called again to ask where I was. I told her and asked where she was. She told me and I could see her. She passed my by completely. She picked me up after rounding the block again. So, I can say I almost got left behind even with my SMB.
Once Lisa picked me up, we had a wonderful dive at YO 257 and the San Pedro wrecks and then at Kewal Pipeline. It was great to finally meet Lisa in person. (I've dived with Roger a handfull of times in the past.) They have a great operation and Lisa has super log book stamps ... and makes a mean sandwich.
