Camera Found at Bottom of Plunge Pool, Last Video Shows How It Got There
Waterproof digital cameras are a great way to document adventures in and around water, but one thing you should be wary about is the fact that cameras sink. Despite being waterproof, shockproof, and a variety of other -proofs, the cameras require a separate floater strap that keep them at the surface of the water if they ever get separated from your wrist.
The video above shows why this extra strap is a good idea. Uploaded by YouTube user BackyardJim, it’s the last video on the memory card of a camera found at the bottom of a plunge pool.
Perhaps unable to dive to the bottom, the guy ended up abandoning the camera there. If you have a friend who’s bemoaning the loss of a slick waterproof digicam, drop BackyardJim a line — he’s trying to find the owner.
