grow some balls and go get it or change your username because clearly you do not go balls deep in snow, pussy, or anything.

Got any friends that scuba dive? I'd pay one of them to put on a dry suit and go in after it if I were you. If you have to hire a diver (non-friend), it's going to cost more than it would to buy a new go pro.

You're probably no where close to me or else I'd dive and get it for you.

Pay a grom to get it. $20 is like gold to a 12-14 year old.

Seriously? 20 feet isn't very deep, I'd just man up and dive in and get it, I've swam in rivers and lakes mid winter and it's cold as fuck but not like you're going to die or anything

20 feet isn't that deep and its prob not that hard to do. but holding your breath in freezing water would be ridic hard.

His username comes from the movie dodgeball where the dodgeballs competition motto is "go balls deep!" so basically "snowballsdeep" is a play on words. Think.

Obviously the answer is to launch the waterfall, propelling yourself to the bottom of the pool at record speed. Retrieve gopro, watch awesome footage of underwater creatures getting it on.

1. Acquire bountiful amounts of rocks.
2. Dam the top of the waterfall.
3. Wait for river to run fairly dry.
3.5. (optional, but recommended) Drink river for quicker drying process.
4. Locate and retrieve GoPro.
5. ??????
6. $$$$$$ profits out the wazoo.

I think I'm done here.

You're dropping waterfalls in january and you don't have a drysuit or know someone with a drysuit?? What the hell were you wearing while paddling then????

Find a local kayak buddy with a drysuit. Or you could fab up or find someone with a grappling hook and go fishing for it.

Good luck man

Do you really think the phrase, "go balls deep" came from a movie that came out in 2004?

try again.


anyway, really the only way op can get it back is just to man up and get it. yeah, you'll be cold for like 10 minutes but is it really worth just leaving it until summer or something?

Even if the water was only half as deep and was a comfortable 75 degrees, you are banking on 3 very unlikely assumptions: 1- it hasn't been swept downstream 2- that even if it has stayed in the same place, you will be able to find it and 3- even if assumptions 1 and 2 are correct, it will still work after being underwater for days.

I'd chalk this one up as a loss.

I bet it could be underwater for months and still work. But the other 2 points are what I was thinking. If it's near a water fall (even if the water is pooled) it is still going to get churned around and probably lodged under a rock or something

Ya it wouldn't be broken, but I know it's still there and the falls go down to straight bed rock with a super calm pool after and up hill slopes on all Sides so the bottom of the pool I's all bed rock so the problem I's searching the whole 300 ft pool to find it , not diving down to get it

Dude, genius Idea.


Get a long pole like 20 to 30 feet. Attach another go pro to the end. Proceed with search stage of mission without entering the water.

Actually I lost a flask kayaking that I think I might attempt this with.
