Instead of bragging about your latest purchase, how about your latest gear failure?
I've had weird things occur on dive trips before but all the failures were getting me a little nervous.
- A few weeks before my latest trip, my Big Blue CF900 (my second favorite light) would not turn on or if it did turn on it wasn't bright.
- On my latest trip, my Big Blue AL900 (my favorite light) flooded during the dive. First I noticed that it was on but I had not turned it on. It would not turn off then I noticed it was flooded. Then the battery failed and acid bubbled up through the base after I surfaced.
- Then my 5 year old Suunto Gekko would not turn off after the dive. It kept beeping for hours and I finally had to remove the battery. I think the pressure sensor failed because it kept registering depth, incorrectly compared to my other dive computer, even after the dive ended.
- Then my wife lost her dive computer. I'll start another thread about that one.
