(WXYZ) - A scuba diver who lost his video camera while he was diving near the Mackinac Bridge now has some amazing footage to watch.
On August 18, 7 Action News photographer Chris Jones was shooting underwater scuba video of the ship wreck of the William Young.
While surfacing, Chris lost his personal camera in the rough waters and it kept recording as it fell over 110 feet, right into the cargo hold of the wreck.
Chris was unable to retrieve it at the time, but a week later two divers from Milwaukee found it and mailed it back to him.
