Me, too. I've got some extra buoyancy on account of being fat.

While servicing my sailing yacht I dropped a part of the furler in the water while docked. A new piece was stupidly expensive and would take two weeks to get, while I was cruising on a schedule.

So I dropped the anchor and climbed down the chain to look for it. At the end my wife found it. We probably spent a good three hours diving and feeling around in the soft mud for it.

Glad you found the piece. Had to look what that item was. In a word. OUCH
