I am from Edmond and I am on vacation in Key Largo so I had a lot of people reach out to me to make sure I was ok. I started following after the call and woke up to see this in my inbox this morning!!

Confirmed,...a miracle indeed!

Any info on what took place? I have always paid attention to these posts and always learn something from them. With the couple being from my area, I felt I needed to make an account to let everyone know they have been found. I’m interested to hear where they were diving at and what took place.

Well, that's just wonderful news.
