Howdy...

I'm posting here and Craigslist in hopes of finding the person who is missing a pretty nice drysuit. I came across it while diving cove 2 on Saturday. Appropriately creepy for a halloween weekend dive...as I saw it from below at about 15 feet...all spread out like a body!

Gives me chills just thinking about looking up and seeing a headless lifeless suite floating above me. :eek:

Wow, now that takes the cake as far as dive gear left behind and later found. Creepy indeed, like the headless horseman only floating above you. Eek!

Yeah...if I saw that I would probably need a new drysuit myself...

I wonder if someone left it laying on the beach to dry out and then forgot about the tide.... #-o

Nah. It was those Ultra Fast Marine Flesh Eating Bacteria that get in divers ears when they equalize. Little buggers don't waste any time.

I have visions of a dry suit lying across the top of a car, as an errant gust of wind hits it and it sails over the heads of all the divers, off into the middle of Elliott Bay . . .

Perhaps someone had it hanging over a rail on a boat charter? We may consider calling the charters.

Or maybe someone was dealing with a neo neck seal and pitched the darn thing into the ocean because he didnt have Mr. Fessler's awesome expert advise on how to fix it ;-)

Shy of a leaky exhaust, I am staying completely dry now :notworthy:
