I sank mine at Daytona. It was out of the water in about 20 minutes though. Joe Grace AKA "the fn Man" tore into it and made sure the water was pushed out and it was ridden the next day. That was a Krash and the e-box was bone dry which was pretty awesome. In your overnight+ situation you will have sand intrusion. You are looking at least popping the the jugs and checking for sand in the case. Don't forget that one of those exhaust valves was open and its a fairly strait shot through the exhaust. :( I hope you get it back soon.

Well I’m a certified California diver and the only place I can’t dive is military property that I know of so was just curious. But everything about California sucking is true.
 
How is it illegal to dive?
It is too close to the Redondo Beach Pier, they don't let people rec dive there. I am also a certified diver. The harbor patrol gave me permission to use commercial divers to go looking for it, got somewhat of a good deal. I am paying $300 to have divers go down looking for it, and their boat has sonar. They are confident that they will find it. $300 in total if they don't find it, and $800 total if they find it and that includes recovering it and hoisting it up

If you’re trying to save some money you could just employ the boat with sonar to find it, mark the spot, rent some scuba gear with an extra tank, a buoyancy bag, and I’ll help you out if you want. I had a few padi certs. That make save you a couple hundred bucks to recover it yourself.

I don't know what I would do if my ski sank in the ocean. That gotta be a miserable feeling. sending good vibes
 
Bad news, didn't find it on the boat with Sonar. If the winds die down, my buddy and I are going to go out with some snorkel gear and see if it washed up on the rocks. At this point, it is a total loss.

:( Damn bro. Sending good luck and well wishes your way. I'm on the east coast so thats about all I can offer. Make sure you get pics of it and your # at the bait shops and fishing piers so the fisherman are your eyes too.

Sucks man I had a feeling this was going to end bad. It is super hard to find these dang things under water.

Good luck man....
