For some reason, I had wayyyy too much cash in my wallet when I got to Avalon this morning, and with few divers (who I trust) but lotsa lookie-loos (who I don't) out on the point, I had the brilliant idea of buying a small dry box for my cash and credit cards. Put it in my BC pocket along with my light, and went diving. At the glass bottom boat, I pulled out the light, being careful to make sure the box stayed put...it was gone! Looked all over, couldn't find it.
So, with a total of five dollars to my name, a hungry wife and kids, no money to get my car out of the parking garage, no way to pay for the four tanks we had rented, and six hours to kill before we could go home, life was suckin pretty hard. My unbelievably resourceful and way understanding wife grabbed the phone, found out Vons has a Western Union office in it, called her mom, and within an hour we had a couple of hundred bucks to survive on. Catalina Divers was awesome when I told them what had happened, and gave me our c-cards back and just asked me to call them when I got home with a credit card number (paid them before we left for home).
So...if anyone happens to find a small, clear dry box with a few hundred dollars and a buncha credit cards in it, I'd sure appreciate it if you let me know.
