I was on a charter from Panama City, FL on Sunday, Aug. 14th, when a rogue wave capsized our vessel near the Black Bart wreck.. I lost all of my dive gear, save a pair of fins and a snorkel. Some items I saw float away, others sank quickly. The search and recovery yielded very little. What I am most interested in getting back is the following:

Aqualung Large rolling travel bag.
-I saw it float away. Should it come ashore and a good Samaritan find it, I wish for only one thing - it contains my wedding ring (titanium) in the regulator bag pouch on the bag. It's safe return would be very welcome.

Orange SealLine 20L dry bag.
-Chances are it floated for a short period of time. It contains 2 cell phones, and a wallet.


I wanted to post this as heads up should anyone find gear while diving the wreck or diving/fishing nearby. Thank you!
