Mike, family and friends rented kayaks at Timber Cove Marina for an afternoon paddle on Lake Tahoe. Staying close to the shoreline, they headed west towards El Dorado Beach. About halfway the typical afternoon waves knocked into Mike’s kayak causing him to drop his iPhone 16 Pro Max into about 7 feet of water. The turbulent water had mixed the loose algae on the lake bottom obscuring any sign of the phone. Mike’s cousin contacted me and scheduled an earlier morning search. His cousin also provided an accurate pinned location. The search location was about 60 feet offshore, so it only took about 30 minutes of driving to locate his phone. And the good news—the phone was still working.
