thanks ecuador for stealing my backup underwater camera.

only place it could have been stolen was after i checked into GYE (Guayaquill, EC). it is the camera on the left.

i bought that camera from somebody on scubaboard. sucks.

Sorry to hear this. However, blaming an entire nation for the act of one person is a bit much. I always have theft insurance on my imaging equipment.

Was it in a checked in bag if so you have a claim against the airline.

Contact AA re making a claim for item missing from checked luggage. I just recently received a check from United for a 6 cuft pony that went missing on a flight from EWR to BON. It was in my bag when I checked it in. It was not in the bag in BON when I arrived and unpacked. It took 4 months but they paid the full value.

File a claim pronto! AA will probably make it right but there might be a short time window for filing - 2 weeks - 30 days max probably - Good Luck

Good point. Yes I recall I had a very limited time to make the claim. I called in the claim the same day in BON and filled out and sent the paperwork in after I returned home.

Enjoy. Bon and diving with Capt Dons still our favorite family dive destination. Nice house reef, three one tank boat dives a day option and great shore diving a big draw for us. Never stayed at Capt Dons though. Always stayed nearby at Coral Paradise. Our next trip back hopefully 2017.
