I'll be there on Friday. I'll try to remember to take a look for it.

I meant to look for it that day, but the vis and surge were so bad that there was no way I could search for anything, and it's probably washed away or buried by now.

Don't be so sure. There's a good chance it will turn up by and by.

But there's a message: put your name, address, phone number, and e-mail INSIDE the
housing.

I assume the camera in the housing is negatively buoyant?

great advice chuck ,,,I will follow this advice with my own camera..

oh you can bet, first thing I did when my camera's housing arrived (was already on order when my husband's camera went AWOL) was to put contact info inside.

I also have a contact info shot locked as the first image on all my memory cards, since the slip of paper trick doesn't work so well when the camera's topside.

Well, Chuck wins the bet. Guess what I found diving at Pt. Lobos yesterday?

Description of camera and location matches perfectly. Brenna, check your private messages, contact information included.

Best news, camera still works! Even shows full battery!?! Dry and fully charged, after sitting in the ocean for a bit more than 4.5 months. Not too shabby!

And yes, for those counting and keeping track, this is the -second- camera I've found in Monterey. Never did find the owner for the first one. Lucky for Brenna that she posted to Scubaboard and I was able to search the archives, so to speak. The system works!

Its funny, I used to find lead. Constantly. Now I'm on to camera's. I like the way this is going, pretty soon I'll move on to diamond rings and Rolex's.

When and where did you find the first one? (I have a reason for asking...)
