Is there a "My boyfriend likes dive lights more than me" support group?

I don't know -- I suspect my husband might complain about being neglected in favor of dive gear . . .

I'm MUCH more interested in a potential ultimate dive buddy than I am in any piece of equipment! Of course as Sam can tell you, I get pretty obsessive about that!

To all the lovely lady-go-divers that are in need of a break from such obsessive behavior on the part of their SOs, I offer my services. My gear is so old (and functional) and I'm so broke that I don't even dream about buying new gear... and have all the time in the world to be attentive!

I can up you one Bill. I am so broke that I can't afford to buy new gear and I can't afford to be attentive.

Yeah, what he said.

I was afraid my BF would start a "My GF loves her dive light more than me" support group after raving about my Light Monkey for the past two months.

did you finally get it back after the airlines lost it? (I know you were getting antsy for a while... )

It felt like a while but it was only 16 hours, delivered the next day. TSA did search the gear bag, probably to touch my Monkey. The Light Monkey came to NC with me last week.

you are a riot

It's just a guy thing. Women are MUCH better at multi-tasking our shopping and relationships!

ummm, I am not sure about THAT one

for what a Light Monkey cost, I'd be in my "carry on roller bag" with my camera, regulator, computers, etc.

I blame Donna ....I followed her lead as she always packs her 21 HID in her checked luggage and I'm a new HID owner so what the flock do I know?

You got to be creative.

You could kidnap his scooter and leave a ransom note with a list of your demands.

Tell him "time is of the essence" because you are going to torture his scooter if your demands are not met quickly. You could send him a switch or battery cable in the mail with more threats.

Mmm. That should get his attention.
