Default What are the chances I can find my prop?

I know the spot right where I think the shaft and prop are...about a 15' square area.
10-15' of deep but seaweed and mud.

This prop works perfect , it would be hard to find again...

A local diver told me don`t bother , too much seaweed..others are willing to give it a shot.

I'm sure you can find it.

During the Miami boat show poker run 2011, Jay was in a little row boat by the channel where people would pass by him, his little boat flipped over and alll his camera equipment ended up in ocean. I was talking to him at Islamorada and told him I would stop and try to find the stuff on the way back to Miami. He said that's impossible.... Attached is the pictures of the stuff when I found it. So needless to say i only had a rough idea of where he was and found it so I'm sure you can find the prop.

Hooka rigs aren't terribly expensive, ive been thinking about buying one just to have it for stuff like this. Im a cert diver but these things just look handy and fun to use.

Man that's nuts. Was anything savable? Bummer for Jay I know he has a lot invested.

I agree, go for it. I think with a little effort you have a high probability of finding it.

I'm building one now for cleaning hull bottoms. Found a top notch compressor. All in it'll be like a grand and better than any unit you can buy complete. ����
