Last month, a Key West resident found a camera in scuba housing washed up at a local marina. By investigating clues found in the photos, he was able to find the owners of the camera, who live in Aruba. The camera was lost in November 2009 during a dive. Remarkably, somewhere between Aruba and Key West, the camera was turned on by a sea turtle. The encounter resulted in an interesting video.
