One of the photos I was trying to get was looking up out of the water with an underwater housing, so i was leaning off of a rock over the deep water trying to stay dry when I hear the dreaded sound “kerplunk“ and see the car keys drifting down into the depths. This was my only set, and we were far from cell service.

Between a guy and his girlfriend, there is no such thing as drawing straws, so I stripped down fully naked and dove into the water. There on top of a boulder, I saw a shimmer and to my astonishment found the keys. They were in the only place I believe it would have been possible to have actually found them. Had they gone an inch in either direction they would have slid off into the cracks between the rocks and have been lost forever. Lucky doesn‘t cut it.
