Hi all,
At the end of my second dive at Porteau Cove just south of Squamish, I lost my prescription diving mask and the snorkel attached to it. I believe it came off approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the way between the steps and the first dive buoy (closer to the buoy) and to the north of the line between them. In the general vicinity of that, there is also a large green? weight belt with a bunch of lead on it!
The mask has a Marsoops dive strap that is supposed to let it float, but with the lenses, it seems to just take longer to sink. The back of the stap has "SODA" (Southen Ohio Diving Association) on it. Plus, it's a prescription mask, so it's pretty blurry if you try to look through it. The snorkel is an Impulse Dry type (green).
If you find the weight belt and return it to Sea to Sky Ocean Sports in Squamish, I'll pay for an air fill or we can negotiate something.
If you find the mask, we can discuss what a suitable reward would be (rest assured, you should do alright). Being a tidal area, the mask is probably out to sea by now. The tide was coming it when I lost it, and nobody's called my dive shop about it.
All in all it was great day until the mask went! Saw the octopus, and Sea to Sky Ocean Sports was great to deal with. They set us up with a great guy to show us the site.
Have fun,
Sir Veyor
