    I had one very nasty scare this trip. On Bonaire, you want to take your car keys with you. I used a Pak-Pak dive wallet for this purpose, which worked fine... until I came up from a night dive and found that the BCD flap was open and there was no dive wallet in it. Car keys, room key, house keys, all presumably at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. Nothing on the beach or near the pickup truck, which wasn't a surprise.

     

    However, after I'd given up and resigned myself to a very difficult night, I noticed a slight bulge in the front of my wet suit at the rib level. When gearing up, with the wetsuit half-on, I'd tucked the wallet into the wetsuit, prior to transferring it to the BCD. And obviously forgotten it. I'd finished zipping up the wet suit with the wallet still in it. Which was probably a safer place for it than a Velcro-closed BCD pocket.
