I may have told my DM story before on this resurrected thread but--I have to tell someone else's story here... A couple guys I know were working on their divemaster mapping project and took one of the guy's boat out to the site they had selected. The went to set up their gear and one guy had left his entire gear bag in the trunk of his car!
How you forget everything, I have no idea.

Assisting on my first OW course, one of the other DMs there asked me to try to find a dropped weight in 3-4 feet of water, since I was already geared up. I figured I had time for that before the class I was with (there were 2 classes there) started the dive. I realized that I had completely forgotten my weight belt when I tried to descend to look around. I came out and my instructor asked where I was going. Said I think I blew an o-ring and had to go to the car and switch tanks. I put on the belt there out of sight -- no one the wiser.
Then there was the time a few years before that when I went for a shore dive in Connecticut and was walking in the water when I realized I wasn't carrying my fins, which were back on the sofa in the trailer in N.Y. Thought "what am I gunna do now, walk the whole dive"? Fortunately over on the beach side some lifeguards lent me fins.
