yeah, i was doing night dives off of Redondo Cyn a few weeks in advance just to figure out where the heck i wanted to hang all that stuff on my BC, let alone fumbling with it while i have a big buzzing bug in one hand, a light dangling around and periodically blinding me al while trying to get the gauge off of my BC. Worked out all kinks but one: THE LITTLE BOY WHO WORKS AT ONE OF THE LOCAL CHARTER BOATS GAVE ME THE WRONG DEPARTURE TIME AND THE #$^@#$%&@$% BOAT HAD ALREADY LEFT WHEN I GOT THERE!!! of course, i later heard that this particular boat's captain came home to the wrong port!!! AND, that the steering went out so they were going around in circles and had to be towed back to their home port! AND, they didn't get back 'till 8:00 AM, Sat morning. So i guess, there's a few bugs left for you and me both!
