Hi everyone.
About a month ago, I lost my photo equipment underwater. Before you ask how it happened, it was really stupid. I took the strap off of my wrist to adjust something in my BP during the safety stop and forgot to put it back on. When I surfaced, the sea was a little rough and the thing slipped off of my hands.
Some experienced divers I know, instructors and such, having logged hundreds of dives in the dive site where I lost my stuff, have stated that there's no doubt we'll eventually find it. The captain of the only boat that takes divers to the spot is my friend, so I'm pretty sure I'll know if someone finds it.
I have dived about 20 times searching for it, with no success. The site is filled with big rocks, and I think the camera must be stuck in a hole somewhere.
It is a Cannon A620, with a Cannon Housing, Sea & Sea YS-25 strobe, with Fantasea tray and arm. I started to think it will be pointless, in the near future, to keep searching, as the equipment will probably be flooded with seawater. Or the batteries will have leaked.
What do you guys think? Will my stuff work when I find it?
It is all really frustrating. To a point diving hasn't been much fun lately.
Thanks.
