A group of divers made an unexpected discovery when they found a submerged drone at the bottom of the sea. They were hopeful to retrieve the lost gadget's footage and photos, in the hopes of finding the young couple featured in them. The incident happened at Geo of Sclaites, off Duncansby Head in northern Scotland on August 18th, when David Steele, 75, and his diving group stumbled upon the drone during one of their underwater expeditions.
Despite being inoperable, the drone's memory card was still intact and miraculously functional. It contained videos and images captured before the gadget's unfortunate plunge into the ocean. Among the footage were scenes of a young couple, accompanied by their furry companion, enjoying their day out. David and his fellow diver, Greg Benson, 30, were determined to find the couple and return the memory card to its rightful owners or at least inform them about its retrieval.
David, who is also the chairman of Caithness Diving Club, shared his surprise at the unusual "wreck" they found at the bottom of the sea. The couple in the footage had a campervan with an Italian number plate, which was visible in some of the images taken by the drone. The drone's descent from the cliff top to the side of it, capturing the stunning scenery and birdlife, was also recorded in one of the videos. However, the footage of its final plunge into the sea was missing.
The diving group was able to read the registration number, GD 936CH, on the camper van from the footage. David, who is retired and from Falkirk, Stirlingshire, expressed his desire to return the memory card to its owners, even though the drone itself was beyond repair. He hoped that someone who knows the couple or had any information about them might come across the story and help reunite them with their lost gadget.
Greg, who was the one who decided to check the memory card for any recoverable data, was thrilled to have found the footage. He shared his excitement about being able to return it to its rightful owners, and how it felt like being on the other side of a heartwarming social media story. He urged anyone with knowledge about the lost drone to contact

The diving group shared a few more images taken from the drone's memory card, showcasing the beautiful scenery and their preparations for the dive at the spot where the drone was found. David and Greg's determination to find the couple and return the lost footage serves as a reminder of the goodness in humanity and the power of technology in connecting people.
