Diver and wife Heather, who have crafted no fewer than 26 phones, two GoPro cameras, and hundreds of glasses in the past year, have documented their findings on video (it was Heather who got her hands on the iPhone 11). From 5:30 am, Clayton explained that he was surprised to see the iPhone 11 in perfect working condition.

By swiping the device’s SIM card to another, he was able to obtain the owner’s phone number. This is Fatima Qudsi, who spent a few days near the lake last September.
