A pic from my first salvage operation we were looking for this cylinder item that monitors water quality that had been lost and i am amazed we found it we had pretty good idea where to look but the vis was about 2m we found it after only 3-4 mins searching in 7m I think the item is worth a few thousand though.

Congratulations Feargus.
Which are you in the pic? Mr. Cressi or mr. Mares?
 
Mr Cressi.
Philipe is mr Mares we were diving in a channel so we only had 20 mins top to get in and out the current is huge as its very narrow and was just starting to pick up when we got out. can be up to 8 knots i think

Congratulations Mr. Cressi! That was pretty good, finding it so quickly. I bet the owners were very happy. How did it get lost in the first place?
 
Awesome, but I think you lost your punctuation down there lol!

Good job! :king :king 2m vis does not make it easy to find anything, I can imagine how good You guys felt. Mick Jagger calls it SATISFACTION, so which Pub did You go to celebrate? I would go to Murphy's straight from the boat
 
Awesome, but I think you lost your punctuation down there lol!

A 62 word sentence is about as good an effort as your 16 syllable Haiku Erik.

Studies have shown that people who use long sentence structure have higher intelligence and great salvaging skills.rofl rofl

OOPPS - Sorry Erik I was thinking of Laminar

True but you should hear me speak especially when i have a few drinks I become very eloquent in several languages, grammer goes to pot as well though lol.
Adrian: not sure how it got lost,there was meant to be cable with it but we didn,t see any but they had a good idea where it was so i suspect it could have been dropped overboard. Was great to find it so soon and its an interesting if challenging place to dive.
Nostres we went to Harrys to celebrate a local pub in the area.
