I think we (the BWE army) should recruit the neighboring scuba crew to seek out our lost gear - they could make a killing on lost rods/gear at the point and everywhere in between.

To all,
Is there an LJ scuba forum to post on?

What do you really think happens to all the dropped items? Do you think it gets covered by layers and layers of sand or do you think it gets swept out to deeper areas? Do you think it's possible that it would still be there all exposed?

The whole drive will definitely be sticking out of the sand - probably half burried. Now the turbo fin I lost last Sunday - it is most likely burried as it was just the fin, not the drive. I'm still going to gather up the snorkeling gear and make an exploratory run tomorrow morning before it gets crazy with the rental fleet, maybe I can find both of our stuff.
I know how I would feel having to buy a whole drive - it was bad enough spending the $106 for the fin replacement!
