Ok, ready for a laugh.
I've been diving for 8 years off and on. I just got my G/F to get her OW card. This was our first weekend after getting her card. She is good with all except putting on fins w/ beach entry. So, I "had" spring straps on my new "Blue Cressi Rodine fins" and a clip that attached them to my BC. So, in the water we go, other side of Breakwater (San Carlos Beach) we got bouyant and I was helping her get her fins on. When we finished and I reached for mine..... no fins. I guess she inadvertantly hit the clip on my BC and bye bye fins. So, there I am no fins to go search. Very surgy and lots of sand churned up. Out of water we go, I/we decide to go to Aquarius and rent fins so, not to waste good air. She waits for me as I walk over... so, instead of renting I pick up a new pair of Cressis' (Pro Light this time). We gear up again. We buddy check, a-ok. As we're walking to the water, totally, out of my fung shui comfort level, she hands me my mask, a "Blue Parkway" my first mask, actually. So, I'm holding my fins, normally clipped, and my mask in the same hand. See where I'm going here. We get her fins on again, then she asks "where's my mask" ......lol Out we go again. I have a spare mask in the car on the other side of the beach at the pier parking lot. Got the mask, this time we actually finished the dive. Got some pretty good pics, too, for the conditions.
Sorry, if I was long winded. Basically, I lost a set of fins - Blue Cressi Rodine probably clipped together and a Blue Parkway mask. Good thing the Dive shop has very reasonable prices. Overall, we had a great weekend of diving. Thanks for reading and hope you got a chuckle, I did.
Oh yeah, just to top it off I started the year off with my Public Storage getting broken into And loosing two nearly full sets of gear, I'm glad I had upgraded most of my gear before then.
