This episode is very interesting
A friend was filming me kayaking in our private lake at 0530 hrs in the morning.
While he was laterally transiting (Mind you, he was flying without a spotter), he hit a tree which he obviously did not see (Since he was on FPV). He tried hard to recover, however owing to a broken prop the quad went into the water. I jumped behind it and must have followed it to some depth is when couldn't go any further. My right Eustachian did not open, in one breath of air, that is that far i could go. I came back up, got the scuba gear dived and recovered the Quad from 12 Mts Depth with visibility in the region of half a metre. Good that i had marked the place where it sank. Will upload the video soon.
What really awesome was Nothing of the quad went bad, Motors, Electronic Speed Control, GoPro Hero3, DJI Naza Autopilot, Lithium Polymer Batt, all of it was intact. Only loss was one prop which too was because of the nasty hit to the tree
