Things you've found under water

[viperwsu]

The best find I've during diving was actually on the shore. Buddy and I did a night dive off a deserted beach. We finished the dive,and just coasted back in until it was too shallow to swim - about 2ft. We stood up right in front of a pair of teenagers making out by the water, who were too...distracted to notice us until we popped up, about 10 feet from them. The girl's scream was priceless. So was the boy's.

Beach towel
Watch inside of a coral and still running (found by my buddy diving next to me)
Broken wine glass and bottle of wine after hurricane cleanup
Snorkel on the floor of a wreck (and now my favorite when I need one)
Latest find was a snorkel with a juvenile brittle star wrapped around it

In Aruba last month I found a Mares X-Vision Mask and Snorkle.... after I finished diving, my personal X-Vision mask started leaking... the front cover had a crack... I used my "spare" all is good.

My most memorable was many years ago while teaching an advanced class, we were doing a wreck dive and stumbled across a newly abandoned anchor. After that dive I quickly changed the next dive into a "Search and recovery" dive, I which the 2 students recovered the anchor and sold it to a local marina and that covered the cost of their course.....I was kind of expecting a tip......oh well.

Once I went to do a dive at Mission Bay, San Diego. Two guys were on the grass with a kayak and dive gear. I've always wanted learn how to combine kayaking and diving so I asked what they did with the kayak during the dive and one said, "We take it down with us." I thought that was pretty snarky so I just stalked off to gear up.
My buddy and I swam out and began our dive. Just a few minutes into it I found a complete scuba rig in perfect condition among the rocks in about 15 ft of water. My first thought was to recover it and try to find the owner. I didn't have to look far -- I glanced up and saw one of the kayak divers struggling to freedive down to retrieve it. I surfaced and asked if they needed help but they said no so I went back to the bottom for some amusement. The guy was in his wetsuit (probably 7mm) and he was way too buoyant to reach the bottom despite his energetic flailing. I finally took pity on him and put some air in the bcd to send it to the surface.

I've found a treadmill. Yep a treadmill about a km from shore. Was standing upright with everything intact.
