Approach the local circus - you may get lucky and find they have a trained otter.

How about finding a friendly beaver?

Just got in; thanks all for the replies - a good PH mix of intelligent thoughts and jovial banter!

A landing net (fish) trawled over the area might provide a result.

I thought of a swimming pool net, the triangular kind, so it scrapes the bottom better. However I think the problem with trawling is that the net could very easily skip over the camera and fail to scoop it up, especially if the bottom is irregular.

One of these on a stick to locate it, then a hook or magnet on a stick to retrieve it,

I like that! But I can get a new camera for about the same price. Mind you if I keep dropping cameras in the river then it will pay for itself

What are you doing today, I've got the day off and I'll jump in for you mate

Best of all! YHM, and a pub lunch to help warm you up afterwards

Your'e not a gonna leica dis Simpo but the river flows and there may be the possibillity that your camera may have moved a bit. If a search does not locate immediately then don't forget to look downstream a little. I expect your 'gutted' but I am sure you could find some old trout to look for it!

[Laurel Green]

Have you retrieved it yet? Has S1 earned his gruel?

[Silent1]

that river is fking cold

It's also closer to 9' deep so i'm going to have to go back with a wetsuit and snorkel.

[Laurel Green]

Good on you for trying and, good luck with the next attempt.

Did you think it would be warm in just your Speedo's

Hat off to you - you wouldn't get me in there!

I think i would phone the Police from the nearest payphone, put on a deep voice with a hint of Russian accent, and tell them you heard a gunshot followed by a few screams, then saw somebody throw what looked like a GUN into the River. Sit back on the bank and let them retrieve it for you. Bob's ya Uncle, Fanny's yer Aunt

Just got in... Silent did an outstanding with the equipment he had (not much except a gundog that's afraid of guns and barks a lot!).

So unfortunately I can't post a photo of him rising triumphantly from the depths, camera in hand, like the Lady of the Lake.

Not yet anyway...

[Silent1]

Fear not, i'm going back with kit, now i know it's a bit more than 5' ddep

Get the small boy out of your chimney and chuck him in with stern and clear instructions for the task in hand...

Warn him he'll not eat slugs for a week if he fails...

[mybrainhurts]

Or...

Or...

That appears to be about 3" in diameter, where do you propose i fit it?
My cock?

[mybrainhurts]

You could ask this bloke...

He's always driving about in that fish tank, so an hour in a river will be a piece of piss...

I fear you confuse diameter with circumference...

Do you want a slap, or are you just out cottaging again?
