| Diving ST Abbs and the skipper knew we was diving in afternoon with him so said we could leave our kit stowed away on his boat. Another set of divers had used the boat between our morning and late afternoon dive but all kit was present. I just kitted up (i wear a Bowstone harness) and was soon in the water. A nice 15 metre dive of 40 minutes we were making a slow ascent and was just reaching out for the shot line to do 3 minute stop at 6 metre when i made an uncontrolled ascent. On getting back in the boat I realised i had dropped a weight pouch.
The press stud hadnt been snapped down and the velcro had not been secured correctly.
Lesson learnt
ALways, ALWAYS check your equipment before each dive. I am just so thankful it happened at the 6 metre and not at 15m. |
