To be clear, she wasn't on the boat at the surface. She was on the deck of a sunken ship (the Spiegel Grove) which is "deep" and she was narc'ed so her actions weren't exactly what one would expect from a rational thinking person. She wanted to watch stuff "float" from her vantage on the deck as it descended to the abyss. He's mentioned the story somewhere before, probably a thread about being narc'ed.

my 'colors' are Black and ORANGE......ORANGE fins......ORANGE Halcyon SMB's.......ORANGE line cutter, everything else pretty much black.......wish Waterproof made an orange accented wetsuit, then I'd be the complete 'Halloween' diver!
oops, almost forgot, monogrammed ORANGE mask strap 'covers' too.

I just recalled a funny incident. I was diving with my camera in an Ikelite housing. Back on the boat after the dive, another diver hands me some "trash" she had found during the dive, since I was standing next to the garbage can. Looking at the three pieces, one looked very familiar.... turns out it was the "flash shield" from my housing. Apparently the tether that connected it to the camera had broken, probably during my giant stride. Glad she was diligent about cleaning up trash, VERY glad I was standing next to the garbage can.

If we ever get to dove together, I'm bringing a roll of duct tape. Once you're suited up I'll tape everything on.
OP
You may have solved my future lost gear issues. I have pink Hello Kitty duct tape you could use.

I've misplaced my dive booties twice. First time the dive shop found them for me, but the second time I had to replace them. It's a good thing I decided to pack my gear for that trip early or I wouldn't have had time to buy a replacement.
