Found Camera - stage.com - Help!

AquaHound,

Looks like you're very close to identifying and locating the divers. Next challenge, to find that turtle, (s)he'll be famous!

Now, that will take some math. Being it was about 1/3 through the journey, I'm figuring somewhere around Honduras.

Thanks for the SN. I will see what I can find on monday. At least find the dealer it was sold to!

I go to aruba once a year I was there 11/5-11/12-09. On one of my last dives I heard of a rental camera being lost,I remember someone saying on the boat"so finders keepers"we were on the antilla wreck with "unique sports of aruba".It may be a rental camera?They had at least 10-15 on the counter at the end of the day. I don't take pic. so

What about the serial number of the camera? Nikon might have a record of the owner.

Man if Karl from Ikelite is on the hunt the Owner will be found!!!!

Replacing the non-working camera on ebay looks cheap enough. I think AH should keep the old one as a souvenir. Returning the much more valuable, working housing and the card will be noble enough.

Thanks for the SN. I will see what I can find on monday. At least find the dealer it was sold to!

Finding the dealer sounds very promising.

The camera is a Nikon Coolpix L18. Sorry, there is no s/n on the housing.

All I make out of the back stenciling is a L..TE, with the octopus logo. That's how we new Ikelite. Underneath, there is ...A....ct. There is something else on a third line, but that is almost completely scratched out.

OMG, the turtle ate the Serial Number! ! !

It's a conspiracy, I tell you! The turtle did in the owner!!!!


Now that ought to get the conspiracy theorists involved.

Someone earlier in this thread worked for Nikon and looked. There was no record.

Ikelite sold most of the Coolpix L18 housings with cameras as a package. I hope I will be able to track where the camera was sold to via the serial # I have acquired from Aquahound. I work at Ikelite and ScubaBasics.com.
Let the suspense continue until monday evening when I will hold a press conference on all the news networks!
