Records share a space above the marine building training room with us. They store old case files up there and there is all kinds of marine division stuff up there.
When the graveyard shift comes on Ive been going in that big room and doing the dive team inventory. Some of our special use stuff we dont use often is up there. The rest is in a bay about 20 behind the first out jet boat.
So Im poking around and have to move a few dozen items to get to an unmarked cabinet. Hummmm, my keys fit. I open it and Holly Poo Batman, heres a partial list of what I found.
2 new DUI Red/Black XL TLS-350s
3 old neoprene XL dry suits
2 new XL Mustang survival suits
1 XL Harveys undies
1 XL Polar Fleece Undies
3 hoods
7 old pairs of dry gloves with good rings
2 new Cressi-Sub FF masks
1 single lens mask
1 new Maximus, Shadow plus, Areis Atmos Pro and compass
1 new Maximus first & second only
1 used Blizzard, Shadow and gauges
1 used Poseidon, Poseidon octo and gauges
3 gauge set ups
1 Conshelf SE2S, Conshelf octo, Viking inflator and USD gauges
2 new Sterns 100mph PFDs
3 Sherwood compasses
2 used Mini C
5 used UK800Rs with chargers
2 used UK400
1 mini strobe
2 weight belts w/o weights
3 ditty bags
3 locking carabiners (sp)
1 video housing and camera
3 new Life Saver bag masks
2 new XL Zeagle Rangers
1 old USD Caylpso BC
1 old Dacor Nautica
5 pairs of Jet fins
2 Alum 80s with J valve
2 Steel 72s with J valve
And a box full of spare parts, buckles and hoses.
This was stuff was just tucked away and we didnt even miss it. I dune found me the candy store.
We have about 20 times that stuff down stairs. On the bottom shelf, in the open is normally 25-80s, 3-72s and 3-50s. Plus each team member has 2-80s in their car. I have 14 more of my own at home and one of the other guys has 4-hp100s and 4-80s that are his. Compressor, we need no stinking compressor. Thats a lot of air but if the Fire rigs dont show we can run out.
Now I know why we need one person playing official keeper of the toys. That is a ton of money playing hide-n-seek.
I B likn me new title, tis fun and it's getting my mind off Mike.

That must have been a big cabinet. Hopefully that takes a few things off the list of stuff to buy. Whats the latest on the SS Gary? What kind of training are you guys going to do with it when you do get it? Do you suppose you will train on the computer usage, or wil you get to dive on targets and such?
