SOUTH HAVEN, MI — Secure all belongings before going on the big slide.

That’s the takeaway following a dive time’s training session at a South Haven-area aqua park.

Divers recovered 142 pairs of glasses, most of them sunglasses, 11 Apple smart watches, six pairs of goggles, three wrenches, two Fitbits and more during a South Haven Area Emergency Services Dive Team drill at the Lake Arvesta Farms recreation park’s aqua park.

The items were located under a large waterslide, South Haven Area Emergency Services Firefighter Owen Ridley told MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette.

“We were amazed by how much we collected,” Ridley said.

The team was invited to dive at Lake Arvesta Farms for a training opportunity using motor skills to search in a “zero-visibility” environment, the organization said on Saturday, Aug. 27. The operation is helping to return lost items to their owners, and also providing valuable training for the dive team, Ridley said.

Lake Arvesta Farms, 06464 Arvesta Drive, offers acres of recreation including indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, 18-hole disc golf course, four-lake Aqua Park with swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, cable wake boarding, slides and more.

Divers had a list of items reported missing and where. A lot of the things on the list were reported missing near the slides, Ridley said. Divers also recovered a wallet with an Indiana driver’s license and two credit cards and a glucose monitor level for an insulin pump.

All items were turned over to Lake Arvesta Farms and will be matched to the list they have of reported lost items. The company will contact those who reported things missing, he said.

Several people have received items back, Ridley said. One woman who received her Apple Watch back dropped off a peach pie and some peaches for the divers, Ridley said.

“It was nice to know some of that stuff was getting back to people,” he said.

Laura Joy said she spotted a pair that looks like the sunglasses she lost last month while at the park, though she doesn’t plan to try to get them back.

“I absolutely LOVE that they allowed SHAES to perform a water training there,” Joy told MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette.

“Those water slides are the bomb,” she added.
