Found an almost new 6-ft fiberglass step ladder in very good condition under a bridge. Folded it up and continued the dive.

I found a mask and snorkel on the 3rd finger of the Yaquina Bay Jetty a couple of weeks ago and I'm contacting Eugene Skin Divers Supply because the mask has a "custom" ESDS strap on it. I hope the person who lost it claims it. I hate losing stuff!

Hey, guess what?!!!! I did contact ESDS about the "mask and snorkel" - and do you know what they/I found because of it? A/my misplaced/forgotten HP 3442 Steel 100 tank that had been hydro'd in March 2012 - 6 months ago!!!!! They opened it up and redid the visual, but I been thinking all the way through the summer - I feel short a tank (I have 10 or is it 12?). LOL !!!

Anyways, I wanted to let you all know that reporting a lost item got a very expensive item of mine found!

It was 1995 and I was in Bermuda, actually doing a little bit of snorkeling from Port Royal Bay, an inlet bay next to Horseshoe Bay. As I snorkeled about and timed my entry through a small swim-thru a silvery glint caught my eye. Several more passes and it was evident this treasure was somewhat deeply and firmly entrenched, but resolute and determined to arrest it from its mooring I dived repeatedly. I was able to grasp it eventually, but extricating it from its wet, sandy grave proved a bit of a challenge. Not being the greatest of breath holders, and excited by the occasion of finding treasure, let alone so close to shore, I continued my dives all the time being careful to avoid bashing my skull on the roof of rock above me. Finally, I was able to wrest it from its entrenchment and out into a more open area where I guided it back through the narrow opening and into the calmer bay area and onto dry land. It was there that I was able to fully appreciate my find.... an aluminum chaise lounge, you know, the kind with woven nylon webbing. It couldn't have been submerged for long, so I braved the elements once again and returned it to its Davy Jones' type grave site for some future encounter with another "diver". Oh, and I also found a Sterling Silver wrist bracelet on the same dive. Also, a mask in the Bahamas and a 2 pound weight in the USVI. I may haveseen more, but I never realized it as I'm always enamored by the beauty of the sea. Here's Port Royal Bay (Horseshoe is adjacent and to the left)

No, this would be more in the class of a "party".

Add a pair of 4" Lucite heels and it would roughly be an "event".

Add a pair of handcuffs and its "kinky"
