Recovered
Last week I had the time and made 3 trips to the area and flew around on my scooter for about 90 minutes each time covering a large area in a consistent pattern similar to what I do running a sonar scan (called "mowing the lawn").
Entire bottom was perfect for a search-18 to 36 feet deep with the thermocline at 40 feet, level, with hard sand, short light grass and almost no silt. No way this would disappear unless it was down in a rock pile.
I enjoyed bottle hunting while I was there so it wasn't as if finding the cam was the only reason to be there. Found large aluminum swim ladder, the curved poles for a wind surfer, some neat old bottles among other stuff.
GoPro was still sealed, dry and intact as I expected it would be. Light rust colored film on left exterior, prob. from the stainless button which rubs off.
