When I was doing my intro to tech training, at the end of the dive, in about 10' of water in MX, I dropped a Big Blue into a crevasse. I tried to get it, but I quickly noped out of being stuck upside down in a tiny hole.Came here to lick my wounds and it seems I'm not the only one... I dropped my primary light yesterday on my last deco stop. I don't really know how it happened, it was cold, I reached for the anchor line and I saw it going to the bottom. Dive was over an hour in 45F water. If anyone wants to look for a $500 light 9 miles off Manhattan in the mud hole, PM me and I'll tell you where its at.
Big Blue 4800 on a goodman handle. Been on a few hundred dives with it and never an issue.Question, what light did you lose and how did you wear it/attach it?
I have thought about using a bolt snap to the bungee on my compass but opted against it as it. What do you do when you have to switch to temporary hold to dump air or read your spg?Bummer. I have my primary on a hard goodman handle. From the goodman handle, I run a loop of bungee around my wrist. Then the bolt snap on the light attaches to the bungee on my wrist. Should the light part ways from the goodman, it'll still be attached to me. I got that tip from @tbone1004.
Well, not sure if he would know it, but: in-water recompression (IWR)? Is a thing:the second dive (!!!). I didn't really feel like I could tell him not to dive, but can't imagine that was great for his body.
