The call on Saturday, September 26, was alarmingly impatient. A desperate man on the phone sought the help of a professional diver — At the Lucavsala swimming pool A credit card wallet had been lost in the water. It contained not only Norwegian bank cards, but also important ID documents. Losing them would mean a canceled trip and missing out on a well-paid job abroad.
Getting to the place itself wasn't easy, but we were there quickly — together with our son, fully prepared for battle. Although the autumn water in the Daugava is already getting chilly, that didn't stop us: we had our trusty Bare dry suits, thick diving underwear, new head Dive Rite A 7mm hat, but in my hands — a powerful underwater flashlight and a metal detector.
As is often the case in similar searches, the lost wallet was not in the initially indicated location. The current of the Daugava and the movement of the water take their toll. However, patience and precise searching of the search sector yielded results — after a little over 20 minutes, the underwater metal detector gave the expected signal, and the drowned things were successfully recovered from the depths!
The owner's initially gloomy expression turned into pure happiness in a second, receiving back all the lost, valuable things and saved work plans.
Satisfaction for the work done is the best reward. Thank you for your trust!
