I've got two rods/reels (and several more items) sitting in 26ft of water. I pretty much know within 20 ft any direction where they are. Tried snagging with a big weight/treble hook this evening to no avail. Any other tips/tricks that I might be overlooking?

Go snokeling with a powerful flashlight and a laundry bag. Stick a couple of weights in your pockets to make you neutral, but where you can shuck 'em out in a hurry if need be. 8lbs of weight belt weights is a good starting point. Pinch your nose and blow pressure to pop your ears so they don't hurt.

Would like to hear how items ended up in 26ft of water Let's just say there are two nice rod/reels, a trolling motor, a battery, a pair of costas, a hat, a coffee cup, an I phone and one flip flop down there. I made it to shore disgusted and with a pop-r hung in my back...which is what started this whole chain of events. (The Pop-R from satan himself) There's a real good story here but it won't be funny to me for at least another year.  I was able to salvage 2 of the 4 combos this evening but trying to figure out how to get the other two now. I've got a magnet that will pick them up if you want me to grab it tomorrow. Just let me know! That would be awesome brother! Will shoot you a PM.

Guy I work with dives for people. We are makeing a trip shortly. Someone mentioned scuba guys doing a little work on this earlier today. Didn't know if the clarity, temp, etc would be a factor. What type of water is he getting ready to dive?
