I used to have SCUBA gear and was often called to club to dive for things. Bunch of keys on one occasion. On another occasion friend had jib sheets soaking in water in a bucket. When rigging up a crew emptied the bucket along with the sheets. They sank straight to the bottom about 6 metres deep. Found them fairly easily. From my own boat recently a favorite pair of scissors went over board while repairing main sail in situ. A bit hard to find at first as they were in the mud point first. About 3m of water snorkel and free dive only. An iron rowlock on another occasion also found. Screw driver again found near mooring. I get a bit obsessive about finding lost things. But of course winch handles are a lost cause. 3 that I can remember. On the other hand I have a range of knives and mask and snorkels all found that I did not lose. I do like swimming with mask and snorkel. ol'will
