I don't know whether clothing errors count here, but earlier this week on holiday in the red sea after completing a dive I removed my wetsuit. And in the process it ripped the shorts I was wearing almost in half - via a line straight down the back of them. The trouble is I didn't notice this...

Well OK I definitely won't try diving for it. Thanks for your answers. Edit: Well I've gone back to the pier and climbed down the ladder, and someone's been down there and managed to semi-retrieve it! Although it's covered with seaweed I've lifted it out and got it back. Perhaps this was one...

Although it is probably uneconomic for me to recover it, as I have just passed my PADI open water certificate it...

Yes I think that was what happened with me. When I experienced the ear pain first of all during the dive at about 3 meters I rose to 2 meters to try to equalise, but failed. Instead of trying again and again I should have risen further, possibly to the surface. I decided not to dive today...
