What is that in your hand, did he present you with a plaque?
Yes. The plaque is in the shape of Aruba. That is a sea turtle on the left, the shield of the Aruban Coast Guard on the right, and the center engraving includes the 3 significant dates of this case......date camera lost, date of turtle video, and date camera found.
In the picture, he is also handing me a book called The Propeller, written by Dan Jensen. The book tells of the recovery of a propeller by Dick de Bruin and team from the sunken laker, SS Oranjestad. I've already read the book and was intrigued by the attack on Aruba by a German u-boat during WWII. It's pretty good reading.
A marine diving off Guantanamo lost a backpack with money, Id, etc.
It was found off the Louisiana coast and returned.
Too easy! ID enclosed.
I doubt it traveled west along the northern coast of Cuba as that's into the Gyre. It must have gone south, then west toward Cancun, then around to LA.
Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!
>> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??
