A diamond ring has been recovered by a 22-year-old freediver from England’s Lake Windermere, in no more than 20 minutes. The owner of the ring had only been proposed to two days before this happened.Lake Windermere is the largest natural lake in England and it is one of the most popular sites for holidays.
The lady is identified as Rebecca and had just been engaged by her boyfriend now turned fiancé – Vik. Rebecca’s engagement ring is made from white gold and diamond and must have cost quite a fortune. News also has it that the ring was specially customized for the couple. So you can imagine the pain and panic that must have gripped Rebecca when her two-day-old engagement ring fell into the Lake!
Rebecca reported that she had the ring with her on the shores of Windermere before she discovered it was missing. She immediately concluded it must have slipped from her fingers and fallen into the water. She alerted the Langdale Chase Hotel which is located just by the water. The hotel responded by contacting freedivers from the Lake District Diving.
Rebecca was so lucky that the freediverwas able to fish out her diamond engagement ring within 20 minutes. The hero of the day had attributed this luck to the fact that the ring had fallen somewhere close to the shore of the lake and not right in the center of the still water.
Although the search had not lasted for up to half an hour, Rebecca and Vik remained disturbed until the freediver finally appeared with their gem. At that moment, Vik must have been so proud of himself and his gift for his lover. This is because the freediver confirmed that there were many scrap metals and coins the detector alerted him for. The glitter of the ring in the darkness of the underwater however helped him discover the ring. In his words, the ring “shone like a real diamond.”
We are not sure of the exact carat size of the ring. But from other noticeable features such as the diamond cut and color, we think both fiancé and fiancée have got good taste. Even the freediver could not deny that fact as he observed and confirmed after he had returned the diamond ring that it was jaw-dropping.
Before this time, little was known about the couple. And even now, still very little is known. From the incident, however, we’ve deduced that it’snot celebrities alone that are into the culture of engaging their lovers with quality diamond rings. This again confirms the rise in demand for quality gemstone rings in recent times.
People are beginning to prefer gemstones atop their ring rather than just a plain band of gold, silver, platinum, or any other metal. From all trends, gemstones, particularly diamonds have made their way back into contemporary culture. We envisage that this trend is not going to wane for decades of years to come.
Lake District Diving
The freediver known as Angus Hosking is a volunteer with Lake District Diving, Windermere, and is not even 25 yet. For the past three and a half years, he actively participates in removing litter from the lake in a bid to keep it as neat as possible. This act has helped many tourists recover lost items such as phones and cameras that had fallen into the lake. He had helped Rebecca find her engagement ring by employing his diving skills and using a metal detector.
Hosking was also once a watersports instructor and has taught knee boarding, wakeboarding, water-skiing, and wake surfing.
In this recent feat, he was assisted by Declan Turner, 20, and also a freediver. Together, they had explored the 219-foot waters of the lake. In the real sense of it, only the both of them make up Lake District Diving. They see themselves as a community organization than just a duo working together. Hopefully, this occurrence will encourage more youths in The Lake District to get involved in their good course.
The two had become so popular in the community for retrieving lost items that they were readily called upon by the hotel when the incident was reported. Hosking and Turner were glad they could help the lovely couple.
For Hosking, experience and his swiftness to attend to the situation were some of the factors that granted him success. He expressed that he had gotten to the site as soon as he could when the information reached him. If he had wasted time, the diamond ring could easily become buried in the water bed or swallowed by some aquatic animal.
When Hosking was interviewed by The Mail after the incident, he divulged that one of his most interesting and historic finds was a drink can that must have been underwater since the 1940s.
