As you who have been following my exploits know, on September 9, 2007 I lost my Canon 20D, an Ikelite housing and a set of dual strobes while scuba diving in Lake Lanier, Georgia (for the gorey details check out the earlier blogs.) Well, yesterday, Oct 27, 2007 I found the rig in 43 feet of water (down from 50 feet when I lost the rig.) So after 8 weeks under water what did I find?

When I got the rig home, rinsed off and dried I opened it to find the camera dry as a bone,and a kudo to the folks at Canon, the battery still had enough light to take a picture of the wife using flash! Not a drop of water had entered the housing. After the strobes where cleaned and dried off, I removed the battery compartment covers and both strobes where also dry inside, a change of batteries and they fired right up.



Thanks be to God for his help and for the help of everyone else who tried to find the camera for me. Since I found it, I am sending the reward I offered to the SMile Train charity, they help fix cleft palates for underprivileged kids.

What else can you ask of in a housing?
