Wedding ring found after nine months in the sea

Keith Kimmons, 53, lost his ring while snorkeling with his son near a remote coral reef off the island of Sepa, a tourist destination in the Thousand Islands archipelago a few dozen kilometres from Jakarta.

"The atoll was as big as a small football field," said the Australian, explaining the difficulty of trying to find his ring.

A local named Jamhuri, who acted as their guide, promised to keep looking for it every time he returned to the reef. Months passed and Kimmons was unaware that Jamhuri was still searching for his ring every time he took tourists out to the reef.

Last week a storm disturbed some of the coral. Jamhuri went for another look and finally found the ring.
