Dive shop lost my business

[Doubler]

Badge 469, you are authorized to confiscate all Predator computers you come across when used in conjunction with 1980 Conshelf regulators. This is a very dangerous setup as everyone knows the regulators can't be serviced for lack of available parts thus making the computer inoperable and therefore un safe at any depth. This is the worst setup known to the diving world and ranks right up there with dual hose regulators.

Badge 469, in addition you are permitted to confiscate all tanks that have been used by more than one person due to the serious health concerns associated with multiple people having used a tank. In addition, a new directive has been created requiring all dive shops to buy brand new tanks for each class they teach so students do not contract this new and previously unknown form of hemorrhagic fever now designated "Ebola Aquatica".

I knew about never letting divers re-use tanks.

I always recycle my empty tanks when I use up the air.

He does if he is a card carrying member of the Scuba police, ask him/her and they will tell you they are authorized for safety and health concerns of the public.

Oh, you get them in the states too? We have them over here too!

I find this story disturbing.....

 

[Panama Jones]

Please send those confiscated tanks to me for disposal.

I walked over to have a look and noticed a set of conshelf supremes in the trunk that looked like new. I told them I would be interested in the regs when the owner of the diveshop came out, grabbed them and said the regs were really old('81) and the parts are discontinued. I asked what she was going to do with them because I wanted to buy them, she said they had to destroy them because of liability issues.

Even though I have a relatively limited understanding of the law, I believe grabbing someone else's stuff and walking away with it is theft and possibly robbery. Lying about the reason is probably fraud.

You should make the girls an offer and tell them to call the police to get their stuff back.
