This ring find began Friday, 26 July when I got a call from Katie from Bakersfield, California and was staying at the Ko Olina resort. While enjoying the cool waters of the lagoon with family her white gold and diamonds wedding and engagement rings that were soldered together came off in about four feet of water and disappeared into the sand. Since it was late afternoon I agreed to come back Saturday morning for the recovery. When I arrived I started my grid search from the pictures Katie provided the night before. After a thorough search and no ring Katie and I discussed following up Sunday with a scuba search since she was right at the slope that drops to 10 feet of water. Sunday was very silty and the hunt again was unsuccessful as I couldn’t see my grid. Katie was obviously sad and I told her don’t give up hope I just needed another chance on a calmer day and the use of my bright orange grid line. That time came Tuesday so after work I headed to the lagoon for another scuba hunt. It surely was calm with great visibility. Thankfully there were very fee targets so I didn’t silt up the area. Then in about 8 feet of water I got a booming #26 on the Manticore. On the second wave of my hand over the target a beautiful ring exposed itself and the diamonds were sparkling in the afternoon sunlight. Yes, finally! I immediately showered off and went to my car to text Katie a pic as she had returned home to California. Obviously she was ecstatic and as you can see it arrived a few days early and its back on her finger. Much Aloha to Katie!
