'A Victorian couple have been reunited with their mobile phone 10 days after it
was lost at sea during a snorkelling trip on the Great Barrier Reef.
Dayana and Alex Jara had been enjoying a Valentine's Day snorkel tour off the
coast of Hook Island, a largely uninhabited and remote part of the Whitsundays,
when the trouble started.
"My husband dove in, and his scuba mask fell off, and he dove in to get it, and
he had a [waterproof] lanyard with his mobile phone," Ms Jara said.
"He retrieved the mask, but his phone came off his head.
"It just literally disappeared into darkness — he couldn't see past his nose."
Professional divers onboard the adventure boat tour scoured the area but came
up empty-handed.
In the unlikely hope it would one day be recovered, the couple activated a lost
phone message and shared their contact details on the home screen.'
