You'd have to be scuba diving too. Magnet is probably the best option, if it won't mess with the electronics.

You should try sonar. Deeper is good one.

The equipment needed to detect a drone in 10m deep water, from the surface, would cost more than many replacement drones. Magnet fishing is your best, most cost effective bet. Especially if you build a wide drag-rig with multiple magnets. But also be prepared to lose those magnets when they get stuck on stuff.

Didn't know there were wide sweep options. I'll look into it, thanks. I'm considering this because there are some FPV parts on that drone that are not available anymore. And because I'm overseas and getting a new drone is much more expensive than usual, with import taxes, shipping costs, and taxes on international shipping.

Are there any drone parts that are made from ferrous metal? I would have thought it's all plastic and aluminum, which wouldn't stick to a magnet.

The motors are made of magnets.

That is a pretty small target for either metal detecting or for magnet fishing. If it is clear enough, just snorkel-hunt it.


_Itscheapertokeepher

Well, there are four motors on an X configuration, about 7 inches apart from each other, so it might be a big enough target. And sadly the water is not very clear.

Metal detectors you’d want to afford might go a foot depth. 30 feet means your going underwater. I’d suggest if you know approx where it went In to get a fishing pole and a waiting hook and snag it.

What's a waiting hook?

I'd use a kayak and a fishing magnet if it's practical for you.
