lost light at Whytecliff

[cram]

I know this is a longshot, but I'm hoping someone might have seen a light I lost at Whytecliff Park on Saturday (Sept. 12). It's a black UK C8. Stupidly, I did not have it labeled with my name or anything else.

I had it for the first dive of the day at 11:00, and then when I was getting ready for the second dive at around 1:30 it was gone. I'm guessing I left in on the beach when I came in from the first dive, but I can't be sure.

I guess it's time to label all my equipment and get in the habit of clipping all my loose gear to my BC between dives.

I always put a piece of paper inside the battery compartment with a note... It worked once in the caribbean when my lanyard snapped and another dive guide found it... had to buy a few beers but got the light back...

Just a thought if you do not like the thought of writing on expensive gear...

may your light soon find its own way back into your gear bag

Just keep going back to Whitcliff, you are bound to find another one. I have found 3 lights, 2 knives and lots of weight and pouches. Not to mention that I lost 1 knife and 1 buddy (found him later after vis got better)

off topic but...

...im guessing that with all the newbie divers in new kit brandishing shiny new knives... thats prolly not an ideal swimming hole to take small children to in the summer....

Relax, you worry too much.

I'd bet any beach that isn't 100% sand would have MANY more broken beer bottles than dive knives.

I have forgotten my left, blue dry glove a few weeks ago at WhyteCliff. I guess I've forgot it on a one of benches, somewhere next to "The Cut". I have comeback to recover a hour later, but the glove wasn't there... The glove has a black plastic ring around the wrist. It's not new and heavily scratched. The gloves made by Northern Divers.
