Anyone find a set of gear floating?

McKee Boykin · Jul 31, 2007

Last Tuesday my brother Joe was diving off Wabasso and lost his gear. He was doing his SI and

left his gear tied off floating to his boat:no . About 20 minutes later he went to get his gear and it had come untied. He searched for it but had no luck finding it.

I'm sorry, but this is really funny.

If it gets into the Gulf Stream and makes around the north Atlantic and crosses back and ends up in Belize near the farm here in a couple years, I'll let you know. What a bummer though, seriously.

Go to Bantry, Ireland, pour a pint of Guiness, and wait about 2 months. With any luck, it'll wash up in the bay! :coke:

Baltimore in County Cork is a better bet. Besides, there are dive operators there that can take you out to dive the world's largest dive-able wreck there while you're waiting, the Kowloon Bridge.

The Oriskany would fit in her cargo hold

I am so sorry but that is too funny. Let him know for future reference, if he takes the USCG boating class, which he may or may not need but it sounds like he does, they teach some simple knots in the class. Sounds like it may be worth his while. :popcorn:

I actually dont think a :dork2:

diver would do something like this......

poor guy - it might show up. we had a similar thing during summer where a set of gear fell off the boat and was found down the coast about 4 days later

seriously, you might want to advise the local police as if they find a set of gear they will be looking for a body

goodluck
