What I have found underwater:
peace
happiness
tranquility
a state of bliss
some coral
lots of fish
a lifetime pastime
 
oh yeah...i dropped a divebag with 2 UK Dive Cannons in it ($500) (sank like a rock) on the wreck of the Mahi off Oahu...went back the next morning and "found it" before all the other boats arrived. Sweet!
 
a cpl of days ago i found a UK sunlight with alot of growth on it.. once i cleared the growth from around the on off switch i turned it on.. and it worked.. free back up light woot

we guessed it was down for approx 12 months +

also it was on a 5-6 knot drift dive.. in the kelp.. i was very lucky..
 
Not my find, but during Florida mini season last year, my sister-in-law found a lobster hotel full of lobsters. I think next year I'm going to try the approach of putting an empty hotel on the bottom and wait for them all to crawl in. Sure beats chasing them around their little hidey holes on the reef.

See you down there.

I was looking over an interesting sunken ship off of catalina in shallow water andi found this beauty traped by her leg.
She was running low on air so I took one last look and hurried to the surface and for help
 
I found:
1 weightbelt with pockets... it was full of weights.
1 snorkel

that's it.

Now I'm looking for an unknown boat with a lot of money or gold. :D but unfortunatly I haven't found it yet :D don't know why:D
 
Snorkels, Masks, weight belt full of shot pouches, knives without sheaths, grappling hooks (2, like new - stainless steel and galvanized rebar, with chains and line), dive flags, a barnacle encrusted light at the Horseshoe near Keys MM35 (worked but the batteries were weak), stacked hard weights (I later found out these are nav aids for students so I don't "liberate" them any more, just move them about 50'), a new PrinTec LED light on the Spiegel, some $1 and $5 bills drifting along Blackwater Sound at the extreme depth of 7', a solid gold bell and, somewhere on the reef between K.L. and Tavernier, two bronze looking boxes about 1' square, each with a name and two dates.
