We're always trying to learn something from the Accidents and Incidents reports...sometimes we do and sometimes there's not much to learn.
As we know it's usually the little things that add up to make for a bad day...the commonplace things rather than large things that stand out.
What are some of the mistakes that you've made that came back to bite you?
You can tell the whole story if you'd like or just tell what (perhaps) commonplace mistakes you made that probably all of us are guilty of from time to time.
We don't necessarily learn something from every incident report because a lot of them are health related. I suspect many of the rest however are little things that added up along with a little bad luck on that particular day.
I won't detail the whole story with my comments (I think I've done that elsewhere anyway) but I'll just say that higher wind than expected made for a nasty dive in a narrow high current area on one particular dive and diving with a new, much too tight drysuit neck seal caused a problem on one particular dive.
What kinds of easily overlooked things have come back to bite you on your dives?
