Diver Recovers Photos Lost At Sea

His mouth went dry when the images began to appear. At first, he was astounded that the SD card even worked. But now, as the images loaded one by one, he was starting to wish that it didn’t.

The images confirmed his worst suspicions. The man in the photo stared right back at him. A sinking feeling filled his heart as he realized that the man staring back at him must have been on the ship when it plunged to the ocean floor. He had to do something to make it right.

Sebastian Jones was an ordinary guy who lived in California, Los Angeles. Growing up, he worked on the docks unloading cargo. This meant that Sebastian often spent his time around the waters that the city had to offer.

Oftentimes Sebastian was stuck after school waiting for his father to finish his shift at work. So he decided to ask his dad if he could take a diving course based out on the nearby beach.

A Passion Develops

During his last few school years, Sebastian developed a passion for diving. His father encouraged him by buying him all of the necessary equipment—the mask, the rebreather – everything that he needed.

But while his father was supporting him in his hobby, he had no idea that it would spark a passion that would one day lead his son down a path that no one could have expected. And it would lead them to a harrowing secret.

Out Of School

After high school, Sebastian made up his mind and decided that he would become a full-time employee at the diving school he had been learning at for the last few years. He got certified as a teacher and never looked back.

Despite working as a diving instructor, Sebastian continued to dive in his own time. He would head out every Sunday morning for a dive just off the coast of Los Angeles. But he had no idea that one day it would change his life forever.

A Sunday Morning

It was a regular Sunday morning, and Sebastian took to the coast. He used one of the boats from his work and found a nice diving spot. He put on his gear, and after a few deep breaths, he plunged himself back into the warm water.

Despite diving for many years, Sebastian still always felt disoriented when he landed in the water. But after a few moments, he recognized his surroundings and started diving deeper than before. But he had no idea what he was going to find.
