Using large lift bags??

[Gilldiver]

If you got to tow it, then there are only two words - Pillow Bag.

If you have a big object and only ballon bags and are off shore, then you need a friend who runs something like a large trawler to lift it out of the water onto the deck.

It's fun, and a bit beneficial to actually think this stuff through.

My thought on the Toilet lift would be just to move it somewhere else in the lake.. I certainly don't need a toilet that has been sitting at the bottom of a lake for a decade!

Towing it however could be a bit of a challenge. It sits in 15'~10' of water.

This is not an open bottom bag for whomever asked.

Sounds like it needs to be a full scale dive operation to me. Two divers in the water to do a staged lift with multiple bags. A safety diver standing by. Topside, a barge with a crane to secure the toilet after you lift it. Probably best to have EMS and a licensed plumber standing by on shore just in case either you or the toilet needs medical attention.

What could go wrong?

We moved an underwater sailboat at ABWA using a 1000# bag and a 250# bag.

Yeah, but did it have a head?

Yep. It had a port-a-head......to starboard....

Yeah. Well. Ok then. I guess that's alright.

The reality is that in our waters here, finding lost items is really the problem. I just had a friend that spent hours in search of a sail.... never found it, and likely never will. Be he got paid, and had the enjoyment of diving in 2' vis!

I don't think there was 2 feet of vis very often. I used a very strong canister light and still kept hitting my hand on the bottom because I could not tell the difference between the bottom and the water.

I also tried it twice. The second time I tried a complex reel search that was screwed because they had put old Christmas trees in the bottom that snagged the line.

Diving in CO is rather boring... This may add a bit of excitement! There is a toilet in Aurora Res that we may lift up, and relocate.. assuming I can find it again. Lifting toilets... what a life!

I will be at Aurora this weekend if you are looking to play with that bag. Then you can get the big bags and work on the Cessna.
