"Scallan said she lost her camera on her wrist while going scuba diving Kaanapali Beach in Maui Island, Hawaii someday in 2007.

"Cheng recalled that while he was walking on a beach, a big wave washed ashore the camera with a waterproof case covered with seaweed and barnacles. Thanks to a desiccant in the plastic case, the camera itself and the battery were undamaged, according to Cheng.
