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

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!

Don't do the beer idea.
How much was this quadcopter?

A big bottle of vodka much better.

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?
