Greg, if you're watching...water doesn't seem to hurt 'em much. Maybe a slug will have a better
effect.

He found it and retrieved the data card but I am not sure it ever flew
again.

I got data off a cell phone we found in the surf at the beach but the
phone was trash.

From the 'Comments' under the video:

I am totally SHOCKED that the DJI continued to operate itself (and its electronics) UNDER WATER!!!
Not to mention the length of video you got out of that gopro! Soooo.... did you ever dry it out and
get it working again? I've heard of it working before after "swimming with the fishies"?

We were equally amazed!
We had to replace all motors and control boards and yes it did work again. Fortunately those are the
cheapest parts of the Phantom.
Almost drowned trying to free dive down to find it. Took me about 20 dives. If I had known the
lights were working, might have been easier to find that night in the dark.

What else is there if the motors and control boards were bad?
The plastic parts?

Motors and boards are pretty cheap.
