rental equipment

[Derek S]

I take everything but the gas cylinders and weight. The sky caps hate me... but I tip well

Additionally, if my baggage got lost, and I knew the gear or the establishment, I would rent. For instance: I am going on GUE Cayman Quest to Grand Cayman at end of February and diving with Ocean Frontiers. If something happend and my luggage was gone, I'd rent in a heartbeat from Fraser.

Just to play devil's advocate (only because I know you personally), what would you do if you were heading to a place that wasn't GUE influenced and only had stab jackets and weird octo configurations? Do you dive anyway, or possibly can the vacation?

I'm not trying to stir, I'm chewing on my response as well. Certainly something to ruminate for a bit over...

I don't know. It would depend on what I saw. Before I became aware that some people don't take care of their equipment I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Now I'd be very skeptical and would have to feel comfortable to rent the stuff. It would probably change any deeper dive profiles to shallow play dives though. Still hard to answer...

I dont quite have the chutzpah to wear the wing on my back on the plane.

Don't wear it backwards. Security might think you're wearing crude body armour on the plane and I'll bet they will want to know why.

Clowns wouldn't let me thru the metal detecter. Seem's the knife was a problem. Hmmm

Did you mention that you were a scuba diver?

Apparently, spear guns are a problem too...
