Why hours matter
Act now: time matters
The sooner you contact us, the better the chances of recovery. Over time sand shifts, tide covers tracks and other people walk over the search area.
- Tide and waves can move items by several meters
- Beach cleaning can shift or bury objects
- People walking sink items deeper into the sand
- A wrong search area dramatically reduces chances
