Poor Woman Finds Old Camera Lost in Ocean, Hidden Photos Are Revealed — Story of the Day
A poor woman goes scuba diving one day and surfaces with an old camera she found in the ocean; it contained hidden photos that changed her life.
It was a sunny weekend in Tampa, Florida, a perfect time to hit the pool or the beaches. Mary Beth was one of the many people who chose to visit the beach.
She was an elementary school teacher married to a firefighter. Her passion was teaching kids, but her hobby had nothing to do with the classroom.

Mary enjoyed swimming, but even more than that, she loved to snorkel. Her drawer at home was always filled with fine stones and unusual sea shells she picked in her diving sessions.
When she left home that sunny weekend, Mary had no idea what she would find on her expedition, but that was part of the excitement for her — not knowing.
She arrived at the beach to find it as lively as always; there were some people she knew among the crowd, but she had her mind on one thing, and that was finding a less populated part of the beach to do her thing.

It took her almost 20 minutes, but she finally found a spot where she did not have to worry about bothering surfers or swimmers with her diving.
It took her a minute to get on her breathing gear before going underwater, seeing clearly through her goggles and marveling at the peace and beauty of the ocean.
As she slowly inspected her surroundings, Mary caught sight of a dull glint in the sand some meters away from her. It claimed her attention, and she swam towards it, wondering what it could be.
“It can’t be a seashell, they don’t grow this big,” she thought. “A stone then?”
As she got closer to the object, Mary realized it was not a stone but a rusty old camera. At her discovery, she excitedly ditched her snorkeling activities and headed home.
