1st dive with the new gun...last dive with a gopro

pick up my new Riffe Padauk 33" Competitor Series at neptonic last week but didnt have time to get it wet until today (stupid final exam)
anyway took my last test at 9am then ran to coral st right after. was in the water by  11ish. the wind was kinda shity so i stay in the cove area.. was in the water for about an hr before i notice the gopro was not on my head anymore... "WTF" spend the next hr lookin for that shit with no luck... fuckin head strap!!!
idk, today suck.. didnt shot anything, got kinda seasick for the 1st time, and lost my fucking gopro..
if any body gonna be out there in the next few days or dive there often plz keep an eye out... shark_bait im counting on u buddy.
video to come... maybe..
thanks for reading.

oh, there well be reward if found... a super awesome go-pro head strap..

if you count the $ amount of stuff i've lost at coral street i think that its near 200$. dive knife, spear shaft, super nice dive light.
i also had a similar instance like you, i mounted my sealife DC1200 to my speargun, dove down came up, and it was gone. after 30 minutes of frantic diving i found it, so i hope my luck with finding camera's passes on so i find yours...
we should hook up and dive coral street because i know a couple nice spots there where the fishies usually are, and 4 eyes are better than two looking for a camera.
sucks to here about that though, i really hope it turns up

 ...Damn bro sorry to hear! Dont give up lets dive saturday!!

That's funny stuff Patt. Hopefully you find the camera--you never know!

Wasn't there also a floating VHF radio? 

Shark_bait, Andy  yea we should hook up soon, I only have time during the week( work weekends), yea so weekend are no good.
Sin coast-Lol, fo real tho reward is the head strap n a full case of beer..lol.

That sucks!!!

I'm assuming you didn't have the strap under your hood? My first time out with mine (with FM1) I lost it over by MBK...found it just before it got super dark out!

Hope you find it bro...I'll keep my eyes open on some of the other diving boards in case anybody posts up that they found one over there!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

damn i almost forgot about that.......

sorry to hear it, maybe we should invent some kind of tracking devices to all our dive/fish stuff...

I gave Nathan a lot of grief after losing his knife...then the next trip I lost mine.  Karmas a bitch.

I put a small piece of paper with my name, phone # and email inside the housing, in case I lose it and someone finds it. Huge bummer about your camera, definitely put it under your hood in the future.

Aww man I didn't even think about that... Put it under the hood.. Now I just feel Stupider..
Shellback- that is a good idea with ur info in the case.. Doing that shit for sure next time.
 

i don't put mine under the hood..... i guess i'm just lucky so far, i will definitly do that in the future, thanks for the tip

just north of coral street at otter cove i once got tumbled in about 1.5 feet of water and lost my dive belt with all of my bullet weights. i was so bent out of shape i drove straight to the nearest shop and got another but it hurt me in the wallet. i could not believe it, so little water and i just couldnt hold onto all of my gear.
