Dodged a Bullet

Post by Scubie Doo »

Dove tonight with Gdog at redondo. When I got home I soaked my camer in the tub. While pressing the buttons and rinsing, I noticed the top latch on my housing was not fastened. I must have dove with it this way. Fortunately there was no water in the housing. Talk about dodging a bullet here.

Happy diving out there.

I can't imagine the sinking feeling you got when you recognized the problem. Glad you dodged the bullet!

Have you run out and bought a lottery ticket yet?

And you better add "latches" to that check-off list you use for your death star.

Yeah it was a sinking feeling for sure. Even with insurance a flood is no bueno.
