A camera lost at sea in Gozo was returned to its owner some days (or weeks) later after it was found by an expatriate diver who lives in Malta who posted the contents of the camera’s memory card in a YouTube video and his contact details in a bid to find its owner.

The diver who found the camera, Tom Steiner, an expatriate who lives in Malta, posted the video titled "Lost and Found GoPro - Be a Hero". He wrote "I found a GoPro when I plunged into cave Billinghurst in Gozo, 27 meters deep. Owner seems to be French Swiss according to the files.”

Days later, Seb, the tourist from Toulouse who had lost the camera, saw the video and contacted the finder to get his property back.
