Dutch Springs - gear lockers?

[BRR@PA]

At dutch do they have gear lockers near the water? I suspect people leave their gear bags on the shore. My girl thinks they have lockers like a water park.
I don't have a problem with leaving bags on the shore but......you never know

Nope, There are NO lockers at Dutch. Thefts of gear are rare but they have happend. Kind of a sacred unwritten rule, Don't touch my stuff!:gun:

I don't think they have lockers. During the week it's a non issue but the weekend might be another story. I keep anything I'm not diving with in the car. Maybe a gear bag and towel to save a spot. You could always get a large plastic tub and lock it up when not around.

Its perfectly safe on the weekend as well. I've been diving there for years and never had or known anyone thats had a single thing come up missing......that wasnt lost at some point on a dive that is.

You do have to be careful if there's large groups of students around. I'm not saying they would take anything maliciously, but they are usually renting and never really know which gear is 'theirs'.

Some folks who camp are even confident enough to leave their gear down by the water when the go back to their camp site. That being said, I would still make sure you gear is where you know it is, and don't leave anything valuable and easily taken (computer/wallet/phone) laying around.

I've left my gear overnight on the picnic tables and driven all the way home and back the next day with no problems.

I lost my G-Shock...........................in the water
Everything on shore stayed safe and returned home.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but my buddy had his regulator set "removed" from our table on the peninsula side a few weeks ago. No one has "returned" it yet. A few bad apples in every bunch I suppose.
