If I listed all the equipment issues, failures and other idiot things I did to myself I'd be in trouble here with the lurkers, thread jumpers and Scuba Protocol Enforcement Patrol for the next 6 months
But what the heck, here is a partial list.
I forgot to bring my hood.
I lost my buddy seconds after we entered the water.
I had an out of air thing at about 30 feet...so I got to use my pony bottle and then do the valve drill
I usually do before I get in the water. (you got to turn that darn valve on your main tank on all the way you know)
I did the rest of the dive solo wearing split fins.
Next dive ~
On my recently serviced Regulator the center of my second stage purge just punched out when I pressed it and so I opened it up and replaced it. I should have also put the diaphragm back in too when I assembled it again and that would have made it flow air instead of water when I tried to dive with it later.
I then broke a fin strap. Both the Regulator and fin strap service were perform while floating chest deep in water wearing 7 mm Henderson gloves.
The dive went great after that.
The next day~
Dive one I went deeper then the SPEP Officers told me I was ever allowed to go without additional badges and bribes. That's not an idiot thing to me but they don't like it.
Dive two I did Solo wearing split fins. ( do you detect a trend ?)
Though it was fresh out of passing Hydro testing, the dive shop would not air fill one of my tanks because they said it had a few scratches on the side they didn't like.
The Bones warned of surprises. They also told of grand and beautiful underwater vistas, good food, friends and long life in abundance.
The Bones never lie....
Soon , the Crows Feet will be added to the bag of Bones
