Jupiter Dive Thread

Not sure if this is the right place for this ... but my dive buddy lost his GoPro just south of Jupiter about a month or so ago. We were south of the inlet in about 80' of water. I believe it's a GoPro9 and it's attached to a headband.

@JoanneR Is this possibly the camera you found? The location descriptions seem to possibly match.

Thanks for the info, but this isn't what I found.

Worth a try!

Does it have a name, phone number or any identifying information on it?

Short story: I lost a nice dive light back in July and a stranger on facebook messaged me that they found it 2 months later. I also lost a pole spear back in December and I got a call from a local dive shop that they found it this past Saturday. Both things had a label with my name on them. This area gets dove enough that someone will likely find it - it's more a matter of whether they will be able to figure out who it belongs to.

I bought a set of these several years ago to label my gear. They've more than paid for themselves in found gear.

It was our second dive on the morning of January 22nd, on board Diveocean w/ Scubaworks.

There were no labels or identifiable markings, according to my buddy. It was on a headstrap and apparently it had glass screen protectors as well.

I actually have video of him losing the camera, as I had my own GoPro on a shoulder strap, to add insult to injury. We just didn't see it in real time.

Ouch! Hindsight is 20/20 but it’s a best practice to put a photo with your personal info on the memory card. ID stickers are also very helpful. I know that doesn’t help now but it may prevent others from a similar fate.

Hope it turns up!!

These are sweet. I just ordered some!

A name is not very useful. What did you use, email address and/or cell phone?

I put my name & phone number on the ones I ordered. It all fit.
