Found GoPro

Post by dwashbur »

Anybody lose a GoPro camera in the Les Davis/Ruston Way area? We found one during a night dive at Harbor Lights/Dickman Mill. It appears to have been there for a while. Tell me something about it and I will be delighted to get it back to you.

It was a great dive; we have a chance to reunite someone with a lost piece of gear, AND we saw our first-ever market squid. Definitely an underrated site.

Looking at some of the video on this camera, it appears to have been lost there at the Dickman Mill site. There's a lot of video of the user and a snorkeler getting ready to go. I'm going to try and listen to the audio and see if I can catch a name, but in the meantime, if you were there and lost your GoPro, please let me know so I can return it to you.

Follow-up: if it's your camera and you think it's not worth the bother, guess what: it still works. In fact, there's still some juice in the battery, believe it or not. I'd really like to get it back to you. Contact me.

Maybe a screen grab of the snorkeler? Someone here might know them...

I'll try to get a screen grab. In the meantime, the video that was on it is dated August 5. So it's been down there for a few months.

It could be Mike's ( Macdiver ) He lost one 3-4 months ago in that area.
I will let him know to contact you to see if its his.

This is a perfect example of why divers are the best group of people out there.

If your ever out the Hood Canal way let me know.
I would be glad to take You on boat dive wherever you would like go.

Thanks for your honesty, Don.
