I havent lost my drone yet , and I hope I wont but what if it does happen let say. IF I fly my drone and it ends up in the water in the bay to be exact and I dont have my own personal boat or know anyone who does is there anything i could really do about it ? or is my drone gone , also what if i fly it by a park thats off limits and it crashes there can I contact the park and will they help me look for it or no ?

If you crash your drone in salt water, it won't be worth saving

And a boat doesn't go underwater.

You need an altitude triggering(when over water) flotation wrap. You probably also want an RF-V16 gps tracker.

I also don't think that's recommendable to fly over an off-limits area, park or not

Also corrrect me if I am wrong or not but wouldn't the dji app show you the spot of your last location ?

Looks like if you lose it you lost it

Some people are lucky enough where they were in signal range, so they knew last coordinates.... now, over water all bets are off....
You know, if the DJI was filled with an inflated bladder of air, i bet it would be enough to keep if floating if it crashed into water.. but then again, such a thing would impede airflow used to cool all the components...
Maybe they'll do something like that in the future, just to aid recovery in water.....

Cheap and effective solution........

And before you call BS...a friend with a Vision Plus who lives on the water and flies over water a lot bought one and it does exactly as described.   His bird's battery let him down over water.   It landed on smooth water.   No damage.   It didn't even get wet enough to do any damage.   But all it is is floats that you can buy at a pool store....and some quick release clips.

After losing my last drone, I got a Trackimo after shelling out all the money for a P3 Pro. It seems to be right on after a few minutes. I attach it to a gimbal guard.

Interesting.
These guys created this, but have yet to see User test reviews.  He "floats" around here once in a while.
