Because I decided not to do the dive (back issues) I loaned my buddy Fofo my SMB, as his had come unclipped and been lost on a previous dive. I watched him clip it securely to his butt D-ring. Well, off he goes, and when he comes back both my SMB and his reel are missing. Both were clipped off to the butt D-ring, and we figure that his tank must be rubbing against the gate on the bolt snaps and opening them, which also explains how he lost his SMB and a surveyor's tape on separate dives in the past.
As it turns out, one of his buddies was almost hit by his reel as it fell past him on the initial descent, so Fofo recovered it after the dive ('gee, he's got a reel just like mine').
Anyway, on the off chance that anyone found it, it's an orange Blue Reef 4' Deluxe SMB, with an oral inflate and a semi-closed bottom. It's marked with my last name, IIRR, and has 'Diver Below' printed on it.
