Keith Bratt of Lethbridge, Alta., was swimming with sea turtles in the waters of Akumal Bay, Mexico, when he spotted a gold band on the ocean floor. He was celebrating his 30th wedding anniversary with his wife, and finding the ring would start him on a journey to help two newlyweds.

Bratt notified the guide at the turtle sanctuary where he spotted the ring, and the guide dived down to get it. The band had the date of April 24, 2023 inscribed on the inside, along with the name Licia.
