...or "somtimes things happen for a reason"
I went out to White's Beach for a night dive last night. The dive began kind of boring...visibility was like 5 feet. Plus, I was fighting with my bouyancy since I was in a drysuit and only in like 10 feet of water for most of the dive. I'm swimming along with my buddy while he attempts to catch bugs (tsk tsk...shouldn't be doing that at night!) when I come across....
...a dive light on the bottom.
Cool...so, I pick it up and try it thinking that it'll never work...Lo and behold, it does and is brighter than my current light. Coolness!
Well, toward the end of the dive, my primary light, which had used batteries in it, starts to die. I've got a backup with me, but it's attached to stuff and is a bit of a PIA to get to, so, after untangling the lanyards from the two lights on my wrist, I finished the dive with the light I just found.
We get back to shore and I share my treasure find with the rest of the group...everyone's excited for me....it's like a $50 find!
Fast forward to me cleaning my gear in the tub at home >>>>
I walk in and tell my roommate (who's also a diver) that I have a present for him. I have two lights, so I gave him the one I found.
I look at my backup light (I just bought it Saturday...my first dive with it), which is the screw-on type, and see it's filled with seawater and sludge....
It's a good thing I found that light on the bottom, isn't it?
