I lost a pretty expensive piece of aluminum near Gainesville Marina. It is in approx 40 foot deep water and I can boat you to where I dropped it within a few feet. It is about four feet long T shape maybe about ten pounds of aluminum. I would offer a $500 reward if someone can get it back for me. PM me if you are interested. The sooner the better. Thanks, Rich.
I am sure that you will get the help that you are needing. In my own opinion, you are offering waaaay tooooo much of a reward. Heck, If I was in your neck of the woods, I would do it for just filling my tanks for me.

Truth is, it's worth about $1500 and it's a goner unless someone can find it. I figure it's a win-win. Ideally, I would like to try to fish it out sometime this week. Probably better for diving anyway - less boats overhead than on the weekend.
I will answer a private question publicly here because it's a legitimate question. No legal issues involved whatsoever. What I lost is a piece of my skyski. I failed to put in the retaining pin before throwing it in the water for a ride today. You can see what a skyski is here -
skyski.com (sorry, the forum won't let me paste the actual link because I'm a newbie!) The aluminum T-Bar and wings separated from the board. Sadly aluminum doesn't float well. So it's just a piece of watersports gear that I own and would like to have back.

Reason: add image
Thanks Cave diver for adding the image to my post. I will say that my aluminum is not shiny silver like the image. It is anodized black with red wings. So that will probably not be as visible underwater. It is a pretty big piece though so hopefully it's recoverable.

No problem. Good luck with the recovery effort. Unfortunately, a piece shaped like that might glide a long way in 40' of water. Could require a pretty large search pattern to locate.

True, I hadn't thought about the glide issue. I suppose the bar would invert with the wings pointed up. Any type of electronic gear that could locate it?
Update - Redwing went out with me this morning, but we haven't found it yet. Since he has already devoted some time to this, I will let him have another shot at it this weekend before I take anyone else out. I will post updates. Thanks everyone so far for your response.
