I know this is a long shot, but stranger things have happened. If anyone happens to come across a Sony RX100 in a clear housing in the vicinity of Cocoview or Fantasy Island, would you please let me know?
I was coming up the cut at Cocoview, and apparently the lanyard on my wrist with the camera broke, as neither the camera nor lanyard where present when I surfaced. The last picture I took was just leaving the sand and just into the grass on the shallow side of the safety stop buoy.
The camera and housing are roughly neutral - I had some stainless fender washers screwed into the tripod socket. If those have worked free, it will be very positively buoyant. Talking to the DMs and other divers, the prevailing current would likely have pushed it toward the Fantasy Island beach, or possibly into the back channel behind Cocoview. The Cocoview office said they would call FI and ask them to watch for it.
I have the camera serial number to confirm ownership. Camera was lost on 18-July-2018.
I've been given several suggestions to better secure my next camera!
