Well done guys, being prepaired, pre planning paid off and saved the night.

Glad you are OK, but I'm having trouble seeing the how the risk is worth it...especially after hearing about some divers dying this last week.

Not just this last week. It happens consistently every single season and nothing is changing. You should have to have an instructor level safety certification to even take lobster.

It's great to have a video that shows what Tony explained it his thread. People need to take heed because as you see, it is so much harder in the dark. If you go out alone and have a similar problem, you provably are not coming back. Practice all aspects of self rescue and carry extra safety gear and wear a PDF. Good thing everything came out OK. The missing or damaged gear can be replaced, your life is something else. Thanks for sharing this video, it will save some lives.
