Yes.  It is a dam so the current is very slow but pretty deep.

*At least I think it is still there.  You can't see because of the depth.

Blow up the damn and capture it when it flows out the other side.

Trying to call someone who is on the swim team or a lifeguard.  A friend and I both walked in and it's fucking freezing.  If I can't find someone who wants to make some money it will stay there I guess.

I think I've found someone willing to get it.  He won't be able to do it until later.  I will post an update later and hopefully have good news!

If you so drown, make sure you get it on camera.

If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

I thought I knew how to fly it!  Of course it's different than my little one but I was being so careful!

To update this thread, my daughters friend said he could do it.  He does swimming in the winter and stuff, or so he says.  He jumped in the water and promptly exited the water.  I have this recorded.  

So I stopped on the way home to talk to another friend that I thought might be willing to do it.  He said no, but he pointed me to a Navy SEAL who he knows.  He is going to give me a call in a little bit and I'm going to meet him.  He thinks he can retrieve it.  If a Seal can't then I fear it's lost!  This guy has a tank and suit and stuff.  So hopefully I can post some good news later today on the status!

I feel helpless about it.  I was about to go get some beer and get a little drunk and then go in to get it, hoping that would knock down the cold enough.  It's in the mid 80's but the water is frigid!

I've got a drysuit, but I don't think it'll be much use to you.

It was about $200. I am currently waiting for the Navy Seal. He is putting on his wetsuit right now and I have no doubt that he will be able to retrieve it. He dives here all the time. I am going to record this so I never forget the day I called in the military to rescue my toy!

It recorded about 10-15 seconds under the water.  I am going to put the quad in a large bag of rice for the night and see what works tomorrow!

Nice!

You do know it's never going to work again, right?

How much did the seal cost you?

Nope. It has a zip. Which I have learned, after falling into the Dart on New Year's Day, you should keep closed when clambering around on the bank.

I dunno, it may work.  If not the replacement parts aren't very expensive.  The Seal was free!
