Last year, after 3 months of marriage, Aleki Taumoepeau was working in Wellington harbour when he dropped his wedding ring. He quickly threw an anchor in to try and mark the site. Three months later he did a dive but couldn’t find it. This year, 16 months later, he went back to try again, armed with GPS coordinates. As he was getting cold and tired, he spotted the anchor at around 3 metres depth, with the ring lying really close to it. They’re now calling him Lord of the Ring.
Maybe Big-Ears at our dive Club could try something similar in the hope that, if he’s trying to recover his wedding ring, his missus might actually let him out to go diving.
The story is on the BBC website.
