This is what they were diving on. It's a huge ship's anchor. They were on this spot both days. There was a lot of activity involved with this anchor. The activity on the videos is what I'm keeping to myself for now to prove ownership.

It's been a few eons, but I'd say it's Tugboat Wreck, judging just from the locale of the shore entry.

No worries, you can fly me to Aruba so I can find the owner!

I suggest starting a Facebook group if search results grind down to a halt. (Let's keep it on Scubaboard, we don't want to share credit now don't we? )

Fabulous thread! I'm hooked. I sent the link to a friend of mine who works at Ikelite.
I love seeing the posts from everyone. Very heart-warming to know people care!

The Ikelite casing is in great shape. Granted, I cleaned off much of the growth, but it is still usable. These pics show the casing and the camera that was inside. Not bad for drifting 6 months and enduring at least one marine animal attack.

Ikelite guy here! email me if you find a serial # on housing, camera type and I will check to see if the registration card was sent in. Looks like a coolpix L18? I might be able to track by camera serial #.

AquaHound,

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

I think Walt Disney found the turtle and bought the rights to the story! LOL

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.
