Lost mask at Aquarena today

[carrielsal]

I think I lost my mask at Aquarena today in about 3' of water by the building by Deep Hole. I had it around my neck and was taking off my fins when I fell face first into the water like a dork. I had to grab my bungeed reg. I didn't realize until I was in Austin that I didn't have my mask. I think I probably pulled the velcro lose on my mask strap when I grabbed my reg.
If anyone is going to Aquarena tomorrow, could you take a look? I was standing right next to the railing in about 3' of water. It's a black Aqualung mask with a round reader in the bottom of the left lens.

Carrie,

Robert and I were the last ones leaving today. No one else was even at Aquarena at 5:22 PM. We looked in the building, locker rooms, around the landing and the area we were staging out of and did not find it. Sorry.

Maybe it is in the water and will be found tomorrow. Linda will be back out with 3 more science divers and brandon will be there tomorrow diving.

I'll check when I go back out tomorrow. It was good to meet you and Mary. Always nice to put swamper's names with faces, and hope to dive with y'all again soon

Linda,
It was good meeting you, also. It's always nice to be able to meet the person behind the avatar.
I would appreciate if you could look in the water be the building for my mask. I could reach the railing from where I was standing. I don't know for 100% that I lost it there, but I have had problems recently with the velcro pulling loose on one side.
If you find it, could you leave it with Pearl or whoever the PIC is?
Thanks,
Carrie

It ought to be easier to find than David's mask!

At least you didn't leave it on the deck of the Vandenberg after borrowing it.. (there's a story!)

If it isn't found tomorrow, I'd like to recommend setting up grids if running search patterns do not yield positive results in the spring lake murk..

Hi Carrie,

John, Pete and me will be out there Thursday. If it has not been found before then, we will give it a try. Assuming the "pros from Dover" find it, how do you want us to get it back to you?

ummm....isn't that where you are suppose to leave your instructor's reel?

 

[carrielsal]

If anyone finds it you would leave it with the PIC or if you're in Austin I could come get it from you.
My 2 backup masks are still driving around Florida with David along with some of my other gear and Mike Lutz's tanks.

...shouldn't a good tech diver always be carrying a back up mask in a BC pocket anyway?
