So my dive bag is gone. We can’t find it in the dive shop. Best we can figure is the group who left the day before us took the bag and now it’s on their boat.
I’m sure some are wondering “well, now how did this happen?” Let me explain. In an effort to minimize the amount of luggage I’d have to schlep to the dive shop I decided to bring my dive equipment bag to the store a day early. The store assured me that I could leave it there and it’s make it in a boat. They just didn’t say which one. Kidding.
Our best guess is that a well intentioned guest grabbed my bag and brought it on their boat (I know for a fact it’s on their boat) thinking it belonged to one of them. Either way, I’m going on my liveaboard sans a piece of luggage.
The good news is that all of my gear is with me. Some pre-dive diving means that my gear is in the shop in a mesh bag. So it’s not the end of the world.
I’ve been told that somewhere out in the middle of the Pacific they’ll grab my gear from the other boat. I’m not worried. As long as I get it back in the end.
Leaving Cabo is a different story. It’s ROUGH. Rough enough that I suffer my first round of seasickness. It’s….not fun. But my accommodations are very nice and I’m able to get a good nights sleep. Plus I feel like a million bucks when everything comes back up. Either way I know the dives will be worth it!
