Lost camera at Alki cove 2
Sebass lost an older Olympus C-4000 starter camera and housing by the honey bears last night.
If anyone stumbles upon it, would you mind retrieving and letting us know? Thanks so much!

Re: Lost camera at Alki cove 2
Sorry to hear about the loss. One thing I have learned is write all your contact info on paper then take a pic of it. That way if someone finds it they can return it. Depending on its buoyancy it might have sank in place or is adrift.
I was in the Philippines in July and a guy who was diving with us took a selfie by removing the lanyard. At first I was wondering why he was pointing at me and saying take a pic, then I realized his camera was gone. Luckily the dive master surfaced and got a hold of the boat crew and they found it floating and retrieved it for him. He said the camera cost like $800 so he was happy to get it back.

I stuck an address label with all my info on it inside my housing. I lost my camera in Bonaire, it was retrieved by a snorkeler on Klein Bonaire, traveled to Norway and returned to me within a few weeks. I added my phone number and e-mail address to the address label which made it pretty easy for the guy to contact me. I now also include a folded business card just in case the info on the sticker wears off.

Great ideas. We will have to wait to get Sebass another camera and housing.

Micah and I just dive Cove 2 and looked for his camera. We didn't find it :/ looked all around the Honey Bear for it too.

Thank you for the offer! He's disappointed but we live on one income and unfortunately, we are not in a position to purchase another one right now. Maybe in a couple months?Gdog wrote:I think I have an Olympus C5060 camera and housing still, will sell cheap if you want it.
