No Reg Stealer at BW

[Ishie]

So happy!!!

First, haven't gotten wet (except for a dive at Gerstle on the camping trip) for a while, so headed down to Monterey with Jim this weekend. Really nice conditions; flat as a pancake, and despite a bit of a nasty red tide near the surface on Sunday, vis really opened up underneath.

Well... probably a year ago, I posted that someone had stolen my Proton Ice regulator from the rinse tanks at Glen's. I called Glen, Jim let every shop owner in Monterey know... I watched Craigslist and Ebay for two months, bought a new set up, figured the old one was gone...

Turns out Trevor at Glen's had found it in the tanks, but Glen simply hadn't known it was in the back when I called him. It's been sitting back there collecting dust every since! Trevor saw my kit today and said "Wow... weird reg, I've got one like that in the back", and sure enough, it was my long lost Proton Ice, that my dad gave me!

My faith in diveumanity is restored... no theives after all!

Nah she's going to save it for a doubles set up

See another reason why you shouldn't wear a snorkel

Jim all that action and no pictures?

Ishie, Nice to finally meet you...Glad you got those regs back.... and your faith in the BA Diving community

BEN, would you believe i was a complete moron and forgot my camera charger!!! and forgot too charge the battery before we left for monterey!!! so after the first two dives i had NOOOO CAMERA!!!! WA WA WA!!! i was bummed!!! and the last two dives is were we saw everything !!!!!!!!!!!!:shakehead

Isn't that the way it always is, Jim? The best way to ensure you see something spectacular is to not bring a camera with you?

That's what I said! He did get some pretty cool pictures of a Hopkins rose though.

And Ben, nice to meet you finally too!

And I'm saving the reg. The dive shop where I'm moving isn't well stocked, so I'm hoping by the time I leave, I'll have a fully redundant set up. I'll save the tech diving until I get back, though I admit I'm beginning to eye all those doubles, trimix setups with considerable envy!

Not sure if the Proton Ice is considered a high level reg though...
