After iPhone is lost in ocean by paddleboarder, scuba diver finds it the next day

Veterans Paul Lore, Am Huppmann, Cameron Hansen, and Billy Cimino joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss their efforts to help their fellow veterans in the silent battle.

There aren’t many mishaps as gut-wrenching as dropping or losing a cell phone — except maybe dropping it and losing it in the ocean. 

For Laura Hernandez of New York, this is a feeling she knows all too well, after a recent trip to a beach in Rockport, Massachusetts.

Hernandez was paddleboarding there in August when she fell into the water and lost her iPhone, as The Boston Globe reported.

When Hernandez looked into the water, she could see her pink waterproof pouch — which was holding her phone — as it sunk to the bottom of the ocean, the Globe and the Associated Press pointed out.

Hernandez didn’t settle for this outcome, however. 

She went back to the beach the next day and approached the instructor of a scuba diving class — explaining what had happened the day before.

The instructor, Larry Bettencourt, reportedly didn’t seem optimistic about the situation — but told his scuba students to keep an eye out for a pink pouch. 

Incredibly, one of the students, Vanessa Kahn of Peabody, Mass., soon spotted the pink pouch, the AP reported.
