Last weekend I had the pleasure of diving on the Seeker to the wreck of the U853 off of Block Island. During one of the dives, a diver brought up a camera found about 30 feet off the wreck. It was covered with growth and had obviously been down for some time. Conversation led to an incident where a diver had died on the wreck last August (as memory serves) and had lost his camera upon ascent. The camera was never recovered.....possibly, until last Sunday. Does anyone that was on the wreck, or the Seeker that day know the status of the camera? I would hope that whoever is in posession of it, has contacted the proper authorities, and has given the camera to them for further investigation. If for no other reason, than to return it to the family of the lost diver. I would hope to see it go home where it belongs. Any one???
Camera from stricken diver found?

Do you have any idea where the diver is from? there were a lot of out of state divers on the boat that day. I sure as hell hope he didn't take it home as some sort of trophy. Is there any way to find out? Or who to notify? It's not a wreck trinket, it belongs to some family, and should be returned.

I don't know anything about it because, as you know, I wasn't there. I would hope that once the camera located AGAIN it will be returned out of respect for the family. Not the kind of trophy I would want sitting in my living room.

I'm sure they can if there is an ongoing investigation
