Locate
Use sonar, underwater metal detection, and careful search planning to narrow the search area and identify promising targets.
Equipment
Built for the
Search.
Lost Below is building a dependable field kit for underwater search, documentation, and recovery—one tool at a time.
Equipment Philosophy
The Right Tool for Every Stage.
Equipment is selected around the complete recovery process—not around collecting gear. Each item should improve safety, accuracy, documentation, or the ability to return property responsibly.
Search & DetectionSee What the Surface Hides
Document
Capture clear video, audio, location details, and field notes so each search can be reviewed and responsibly documented.
Recover
Choose diving and recovery tools that support safe handling, controlled retrieval, and protection of the surrounding environment.
