I've missed dives from equipment failures, sure. Who hasn't?
1. Bubbly rental BC. Lost a day of crystal clear diving - 60 ft vertical vis.
2. Multiple failure. Couldn't sink, wrists didn't seal, computer failed. Called due to "Murphy" rule.
3. Computer failure, had to skip 2nd dive - oh, but wait! I had a spare depth gauge and watch. I'd forgotten to replace the battery after #2.
4. Flutter found in main circulatory pump. (Heart palpitations) Had to bring the whole unit into the shop to have some pros take a look. (Not user-serviceable and no removable parts.) Last night, they told me it was fine to dive with. I missed two planned night wreck dives.
I've had multiple drysuit leaks. I've just lived with them.
