OK, I dropped the plastic furling drum (massive and heavy plastic

to boat hook or by using a metal loop and really cannot even tell how

hate diving deep cuz I cannot relieve the pressure in my ears.

keep probing for the part in case it drifts
get a wet suit for the kid at the local good will, a snorkle mask new,
and send him or her on down put the boat hook on the part and let the
kid follow it to the bottom pick up the part and bring it back up. you
know where it is and the diver does not have to see it to grab it.
wait for low tide and the depth will be less.
