I will be conducting a search and recovery dive for a GoPro lost during a dive. I have a good idea of where it was dropped and I am sure that it was heavy enough to get to the bottom since it was attached to an aluminum pole. The camera was dropped about a week ago on the bottom of Isthmus reef and at about 25 ft of water. That is at a top of a reef surrounded by drops to around 80-100 ft. The terrain is rocky and typical Catalina structure.
I was wondering how strong are currents on the bottom at this area? Shall I be looking at a larger area after the item was sitting on the bottom for a week. I suppose currents are random but do they stir the bottom enough to move an object like this over a period of a week? I am just wondering.
This is not about the camera but more of a thrill and an excuse to dive that area again... I know it is a long shot but wanted to plan the search area. Any recommendations?
