Holy shit, George. That is lower than scum...I always worried that this would happen in the springs. Harry asked (reasonably) "who would take our oxygen unless they needed it badly?" Now I know. So do we chain our deco bottles to a rock?

Schmidt; cavers; E- Cavers Subject: RE: [Cavers] Stolen Fins and Mask at Telford - HELP! Erik, Florida cave divers are the lowest lifes you will ever encounter. I absolutely hate diving anyplace where they are allowed to dive. If it were not for my girlfriend wanting to dive all of the little springs, I would not take the chance of having my stuff stolen. We have support divers guard our stuff at most sites. I even had my oxygen bottle stolen out of Wakulla by some of the low life pieces of shit that are part of FSU ADP. I got to 20 feet and had no oxygen. Luckily, that makes little difference for me. One of my guys got it back from ADP the hard way, and those low lifes argued that they were justified in stealing it since I "left it". There is something about cave diving that attracts the worst element in Florida, and my opinion is that it is the instructors who foster and attract this element. Just look at the track record of the NACD and the CDS as to thievery in those ( instructor-run) organizations. -----Original Message----- From: cavers-admin@sa*.or* [mailto:cavers-admin@sa*.or*]On Behalf Of Erik C.

My wife's fins and mask were accidentally left behind on Sunday afternoon right down by the water at Terrapin Sink at Telford. They were only there for about an hour before we realized it and were able to get back there to search. If they had been left at the headspring I would have considered them gone in a matter of minutes, but since they were at Terrapin we had some hope... If anyone comes across (or is offered for sale by some thief) a pair of XL Jetfins with Halcyon spring heels and a Cressi mask (2 window, black with dark teal trim) in the fin pocket, PLEASE let me know. The fins had my wifes name (Tiffany) written large across the bottom in paint marker. Alternatively, if anyone has an extra set of XL Jetfins and/or spring heels that they might be willing to part with cheap we would appreciate it. We dive a lot and need to find these or replace them asap. Thanks for any help and for keeping your eyes open! -Erik _______________________________________________ Cavers mailing list Cavers@ca*.co* http://www.cavers.com/mailman/listinfo/cavers _______________________________________________ Cavers mailing list Cavers@ca*.co* http://www.cavers.com/mailman/listinfo/cavers -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
