If you have ever lost an object in the water it can be a very difficult
and frustrating experience trying to find it. If it is a large object, i.e..
outboard motor, it can also be very hazardous bringing it to the surface.

of locating and bringing these items to the surface and make you a more
informed and competent diver. |
