I once was lost but now I'm found
 
I was snorkeling and at a depth of 8-10 meters I noticed a scuba, the steel back of Halcyon, when I picked it up, I saw it was in full kit (50 bar, weights, bag for finds).
The next year, after a storm, there was a wet suit on the shore.
 
When I had a dive business on the Mediterranean Island of Mallorca, I tried to make a point of diving 'that little bay that nobody knows about" that was always stuffed with yachts on a Sunday, on a Monday morning, because I used to pick up all sorts of goodies people dropped off boats, like towels and sunglasses. One Monday I recovered a 60hp Johnson outboard motor that had fallen while being installed on a dinghy (I presumed). Assuming it was flooded at 60-feet deep, I sold it for £50 and was shocked to see it started first pull!!
 
We were in Grand Cayman and a local bar was having a trash cleanup dive, they put gold colored token in the water and divers would pick these up for a raffle drawing. They also had an entry for the most trash turned in and the biggest piece of trash. I'm headed back with my bag of trash and there is this guy pushing a heavy equipment tire that was three times as big as he was, he was using his Octo to push air into the inside of the tire and rolling it towards the bar, funny as hell to see that.

It was a great day and I think everyone got a prize in the raffle and the tire guy won the big prize.
