Hey folks...
I recently lost a camera during a dive off Little Cayman's north shore (Joy's Joy dive site) while diving with Reef Divers of Little Cayman Beach Resort in about 35 feet of water. It is a Canon S100 point & shoot camera in an Ikelite housing, it had Ikelite's color filter mounted on front. No strobe or tray. Current at the time was fair, moving to the east. The camera in the housing is positively buoyant.

It was lost on 5/29/2012 during the 2nd dive of the morning. Despite two afternoons of shoreline searches, we had no luck in finding it washed up. It's a shot in the dark, but just in case... I just really want the images and video on it back if there is any chance.

Thanks!

Mark

Sorry to hear about the loss. Since it is positively buoyant the chances that the currents have taken it to some exotic location are good. Hopefully, your gear is insured against this possibility.
