I lost my yellow BB dive baord today around 2pm. It is loaded with 3 legal abalone, a bunch of sea urchin, my Mako Speargun, other dive essentials and my fishing license/ abalone card.

I dove the area between big rock and shore. The board was clipped to kelp. My Mako gun was stuck. I borrowed a gun from my friend. Fish are plentiful. So I went for a fish chasing game. 5 minutes later, the board is gone. 

If any one found it, please let me know. I will find a way to thank you for this.

If you lost them at VanDamm.
Good news. Found and returned to Sub Surface Progression dive shop.

I hope they are yours.

Hi Chet, Did you find it and send to Sub Surface Progression? I am so happy I can have the whole thing back. Where is Sub Surface?
Thank you so much!

Thanks Chet and DG. This is fantastic. Will call them first thing tomorrow.

I wish they put my harvest back to the ocean so they are not wasted. 

I called the shop. Blake's descrption matched my board. 
They turned the board to DFG game warden. I give my phone number to Blake to pass to DFG.
I will sure find my board back. hoorah!!!!!!!!!

Thank you guys! Love NCKA community! 

That is cool.

Hope those Abs were all legal DFG!?!?!? Why DFG? The Abs I guess. Seems weird to me they would pass It to DFG so fast?

Maybe because of the license was in the Banks Board.

Not sure about DFG, but if I found a board floating around and no one around I would probably be calling coast guard and rescue as someone may have drowned or be in need of help.  They should have been knocking on the ab tags owner's door to find out what happened. 

Glad it turned out okay.

Maybe a REALLY good idea to keep some form of waterproof tag/identification attached to your board for this very reason!  If you go missing & the board is found, it's a starting point for an otherwise unknowing situation.

I think DG's has nailed the ID preparation. I usually put my drivers license into the dry box as well. Do you guys do that?

I knew this could've triggered a emergency rescue. So the 1st thing when I went back to shore is to call my wife tell her I am ok.  If police called her before me and told her they found my board and no person, I don't know what to say .

I also talked to a lot of people on-shore about my lost of dive board. A young gentleman maned Joe (a kayak tour trainer) even kayaked to the big rock to look for the board for me. Big thank to him too.

I just called the game warden. Very nice guy. He gave me his cell phone number so i can later meet him and get the stuff. He even freeze the abs for me. I just have to tag the abs in front of him when I meet him. Never done that before. 

Those abs are way bigger than the 7" gauge. So there is no issue.

I am very happy guys, very happy!!!!!
