Retrieving a lost ring from a lake sounds like looking for a needle in haystack.

Luckily, this seemingly impossible task turned out to be a successful rescue mission for one skilled scuba diver.

The silt had immediately clouded out the area and I was in almost zero visibility.

Despite the apparent challenges, he knew he had to try.

Its very sentimental to me, weve been married for 10 years, the owner shares in the video.

After a first fruitless search, Pelley went back into the water for his deepest dive ever.

I followed the anchor line back down to 47 feet and started searching again!

the skilled diver explains.

It was the wedding ring!

The video of the moment sees him screaming Oh my god!

in disbelief and having to cool off an adrenaline rush.

Although he had found the ring, the way out of the water presented another challenge.

Since his fingers were almost numb, he feared the ring could slip out of his hands.

He recently recovered a $9,500 wedding ring from the bottom of a lake.
