    Lost Your Camera?

    As much as i hate to do this, i guess i kinda hafta:

    I found an underwater camera while snorkeling out of Palm Beach yesterday. Based on the date stamp of the pics, I believe it was lost last weekend.

    Tell me when and where and the details of you camera and i will get it back to you.

    I'm giving it one week. After that, I'm going to request that the thread be deleted and I won't feel guilty any more.

    Oh yeah, I found a decent pair of sunglasses too, but I'm keeping them!

    If it was a Sea Life, Canon, Sea & Sea, Nikon, Canon, Intova, Panasonic, Pentax, or something similar...it is mine.
    It has pictures of SoFla in it.
    It has a lens and a button that you push to take pictures.
    It is waterproof.
    It has batteries in it.
    When can I pick it up?

    last week Voodoogasman lost a camera and sunglasses around palm beech doing deep air bounce diving, he has temporally lost sight and memory, but would like these Items back as this was a memorial dive for him, I am posting for him till we can get google chrome voice translation installed.

    I am posting this for him and when I told him the avatar that found his camera he got very upset and called me a liar and said DD is a very good Deep Air Diver not an F=ing snorkler.

    Yeeeaaaahhhhh.......I lost my camera last week. I was testing out a new digital radar stratochip configuration that I invented. I was shooting pictures of nurse sh.......reef sh...........great white sharks, yeah that's the ticket. When suddenly two, no three, I mean seven of them ganged up on me. I was at 237 feet so I was just using a snorkel. I killed them all with my spear gu......no my knife....no my bare hands.......yeah that's it my bare hands. Except for one which I forced to tow my to shore. Yeeeaaaahhh that's the ticket. On the sd card you will find pictures of my wife Morgan Fairchild, who I've seen naked.

    LOL I was hunting that day in a well organized tournament using only primitive gear, a pole spear...It was a huge tournament advertised all over the world, drawing in several strange and unusual competitors (it had been advertised on the internet even) and brought in some pretty huge competitors.

    There I was toward the end of my dive, my lungs burning, my diaphragm shuddering from the ever more rapid contractions....I was searching for the elusive sheepshead and trying to keep an eye out for the bullshark I had seen earlier.. I turned to make my ascent from 60 feet when I notice off to my left a small object on top of the reef wrapped in some gorgonians. I quickly consider dropping my pole spear to mark the spot, but remembered that I was using a borrowed pole spear and probably shouldn't leave it on the bottom, I weighed my priorities and my options. I chose the most agressive option possible... I arrested my ascent and shot across the reef 20-25 feet, grabbed the camera and contemplated whether this camera was actually worth risking a shallow water black out as i kicked to the surface with ever weakening quadriceps....

    YUP, with a full load of BS... Actually, that is more or less EXACTLY what happened, although i have to admit, the "huge competitors" were actually me and another fat guy...

    Well there was a girl in a bikini, a slippery dick, a lot of grunts and maybe an ugly eel popping up, nothing unusual really.
