Dumb & Dumber

Hoosier · Jun 16, 2005

I was a real dumb and dumber yesterday.

I didnt bring the fin so that I couldnt dive. Even, my buddy couldnt dive because of me. :banghead:

It made me feel terrible because I ruined someones valuable time and schedule.:sorry19z: It also made me keep asking myself what is the matter with me. :crying2: I am still a real newbie in this world.

Have you had any same experience as mine? I hope not.

Fortunately, I haven't yet forgotten anything that would cause me to miss a dive ... but that's mostly because I keep a box of spare gear in my car with things like extra mask, gloves, hood, regulator, etc. I have had to dig into the box from time to time for things either myself or one of my buddies forgot.

A well-known and very experienced dive buddy of mine recently forgot to bring his BCD to the dive site ... :eyebrow:

I got all the way to the Whittier tunnel and discovered I forgot my wing. My "buddy" was too "DIR" to be OK with me using my drysuit for buoyancy.... as we both had been originally taught to do :rolleyes:

Packing gear the night before seems to be an answer.

Don't feel bad. I've been stood up for dives. I usually end up soloing on those.

I get kinda anxious before heading out for a dive, that's why I end up with pages of checklists.

LOL, oh if I had been your buddy, we still would have had a nice dive.........
One fin each, just like in a potato sack race, :11: but then we could hold hands too.

Consider it a new diving skill set. :crafty:

It would be a very slow and leisurely dive........

I was on a dive boat last week and there was an instructor and a student doing an AOW deep dive. They got geared up first and the instructor reached into his bag and realized that he had forgotten his fins. Could happen to anyone...

As for me, it helps to be anal retentive. I always pack the night before and I stand with my gear spread in front of me on the floor, start from my feet, recite every piece of gear required and pack them as I go. Haven't forgotten anything yet.

Hey hoosier don't worry bout it!!
Look at it this way- I bet you'll never forget any of your gear again

Hey Bob...you know that you have to tell us who forgot their BCD :eyebrow:
