A buddy was walking out of a site in Bonaire a few weeks ago and in the shallows lay a nice pelagic compass that must have popped out of a boot when someone stumbled. You never know.

I knew it!!!!
Hey when is your next trip to dive out in RI? We ought to do another Ft. Wetherill cookout day like last spring.
Poseidon has already received enough donations to keep him happy this year so I don't think you'd need to donate another mask to the cove gods.

Oh yeah....I remember searching around the cove for that mask!
(Don't mind the SP frameless in my pics....I found that in the other cove...hahahahaha!!)
Sorry for your loss, Chris. I've had a fear of losing mine and had to make some modifications. Had to get rid of the watch style strap and put in bungees...(thanks JohnL for the idea
)Things I've lost to date:
-dive flag
-lobster gauge
-clam gauge
-SMB with reel attached
-my car key!!!!:11: (that was a bad day)
-C8 light

I gotta be honest with you buddy, I REALLY hate the "cove gods" They are ENTIRELY too greedy! My buds have been all over me about getting back into the water. I took a little time off because of some spine issues, but am about ready to jump in again. the cookout thing sounds like fun, maybe we could make an actual plan to get a fiew guys in on it, and the girls can watch the vehicles! My wife would jump at the chance to go kayaking there again. ....Although ,salt water do gives me hives.

Ok now that we have humor involved. I suggest we have a Find Chris's Computer Dive in which food will be served, prizes offered, and a good time for all. And if the Dive is a success then maybe Chris can make it an annual event.

Actually there is a group dive event this Sunday (20 May) as the Divers for Hope annual Treasure Dive is slated for noon at Ft. Wetherill. In fact it would be worth getting there and making an announcement or else if someone does find it then they are going to think that your computer is one of the prizes! The last time that they had this dive in September 2005 there were over 90 divers.

Oh crap! that all Chris needs the hear. Boy what timing. I can see it now, people posting what prizes they have found.

My dive buddy who lost it is honest enough to be paying me the cost of replacing it so this loss is definitely more painful for him. For me it is just a bit of an inconvenience because I don't have a computer until the replacement comes.
On the bright side, I took advantage of the discount I get from being a URI research diver and ordered an Oceanic VT3 hoseless air integrated computer for the replacement. Should get it next week. New toy! New toy! New toy!!!!!

Yeah he is an excellent buddy.
The computer I am getting is a bit more expensive than the mosquito so I am paying the difference in cost between the two. He's just paying me the value of the mosquito, but I couldn't resist the chance to upgrade when I ordered the new one.... I admit it... I am a gadget junkie! New toy!!! New toy!!! New toy!!!
The VT3 supports up to 3 transmitters with 3 different mixes up to 100% O2. It also has a buddy monitoring function where if your buddy has a compatible transmitter on his tank it will actually tell you his tank pressure too. I doubt I'll use half of that.... but I just couldn't resist.... new toy! New toy! New toy!!!
