Unusual discoveries on Ningaloo Reef

On our most recent trip, once again we were privy to a very special find. This time it was not one of Nature’s secret little gems rather a more unusual find which has led to the following notice being placed around Coral Bay.

Lost & Found

Recently found – 1 Makita cordless drill set, comes with 2 batteries, charger and miscellaneous drill bits.


Found 3m underwater at Sail Ningaloo’s snorkeling site, “The Minefield”.

Slightly salty but with only a small amount of algae & other marine growth indicates drill set was misplaced only recently, more than likely within the last month.


If owner does not come forward within 7 days drill set will be given away for free on a first come first served basis.

Will suit qualified electrician with magical skills in repairing salt and water damage, or someone with a lot of patience and very optimistic hoping that it will some day work in the future. Also suitable to anyone involved in underwater film making as it could be a great prop.
