I found an old scuba tank w/ harness and regulator buried in sand off of the Elbow in the Keys. The butt of the tank was 1/2 buried and I thought at first it was a pipe of some type.

We took it back to my LDS at the time and had the shop owner clean it up. The regulator was an old Healthways w/ just a primary and an SPG. There was also a harness still attached.

This rig still sits in DiversCity, USA in Key Largo :)
 
dollar bills, sunglasses, aluminum folding chairs, once I found a lure that led to a down rigger weight that led to a pole that led to the down rigger and the piece of boat that it was attached to before the wieght got caught in the rocks. Once when diving near a pier I saw a rubber worm being reeled in in front of me so I took a hold of it and swam to the west then to the east gently tugging on it - I did this for five minutes and then let go, soon afterward I surfaced and you could see this ten year old kid all excited about the one that got away, my only regret was after letting go I found a old tennis shoe I wish I had put on the hook!

15 years ago when I started diving I found an old front loaded cannon outside Malta Island. I got very excited - of course. The DM didn't bother. Later he said there are plenty of them around the island. I have found two dive lights the last year. One was still on?!

That's pretty brave. Whenever I see fishing lures go by I get kind of nervous. I've thought about grabbing them... but the thought of a hook being set into my fingers if I don't grab it juuuuuust right makes me a little wary.:eek:ut:
 
While chasing a 10 foot sand tiger shark with my video camera around the wreck of the Atlas I found a mask and snorkle. The next dive I wore it because it seemed more comforable than the one I had. In the 10 years since I probably have 500 dives on it and even though I do have the mask buying gene I still like this one best.
 
Off Boynton Beach earlier this year, we found a pelvic bone. I thought we should bring it up -- its owner might not be missing it, but someone might be missing its owner -- but the charter boat captain wouldn't let us bring it aboard. I have a photo of it somewhere, though.

I still wonder whether it was a human pelvis. Most medical opinions of the photo is that it "probably" was!
 
in that case my answer would have to be...



ME!


:D

Are you trying to tell us you found a dead diver or were you so narced out that you found your buddy and did'nt recognize him as that?

It was a diver who went missing 6 years earlier.
