Hey guys,
As you can see I am a newbie on this forum so please forgive me, not sure where to post this topic.
Lost my diving knife, just after two dives...so it hurting a bit.
If anyone sees a diving knife at Ansel, would you mind contacting me?

Avic, just a few comments...
First, sorry to hear you lost your knife. That sucks. (but it might not be gone forever)
Second, (lesson learned) mark every piece of your gear with your name. Many of us have seen grown adults fighting over who owns some bootie or weight pouch on a boat; marking your gear eliminates hassle. (and if your name is on your knife, you stand a slightly higher chance of getting it back)
Third, lots of divers dive where lots of classes go. Someone else may likely find your knife. Its even possible that a dive shop in your area is doing a navigation course, where they swim in search patterns, etc. Put up flyers in the local dive stores where divers hang out. Let the owners or instructors know. Your knife will likely be found by someone, whether they keep it or get it back to you depends on whether they know (a) you're the owner and (b) you're looking for it.
Forth, lots of divers on SB may not know where "Ansel" is.
If you fill out your profile people can see your general area, locate places you dive, LDS's, etc. and can respond to you in a more meaningful manner. It also puts other questions and issues you may have into a context, which makes answering you much easier.
Best of luck finding your knife,
Doc
