Keith Kimmons was snorkeling off Sepa, in Indonesia, last April when his wedding ring slipped off his finger. Kimmins searched for the ring but since "The atoll was as big as a small football field," he never found it. Kimmons' dive guide, Jamhuri, promised Kimmons that he'd keep looking for it.Fast forward nine months. Kimmons returned home, received endless abuse for having lost his ring (while he was on that vacation that his wife didn't even want him to take), probably had to slog out and buy a new ring, and even make plans to renew his wedding vows...okay, I admit it: I don't know all these details, I'm just trying to add a little color to the post...
Fast forward nine months. Kimmons returned home and forgot about his ring. A storm blew over Sepa, and when Jamhuri took his next group of snorkelers to the reef, he found the ring. He sent Kimmons a text message telling him he found it and met him in Jakarta to return it. According to Kimmons, "I gave him a reward. I had to force him because he did not want to take it." Note to Kimmons: next time make the reward bigger, and you won't have to force him. And next time you go snorkeling, don't wear your ring. Bright jewelry is a no-no when underwater anyway.
