A diver named Andrey Khvetkevich discovered an old GoPro camera near a reef on Koh Tao and is now trying to find its owners through social media. The footage may contain valuable memories for someone.
GoPro Was Found
Andrey found the camera during a dive. Despite a damaged case, he managed to recover about 3GB of data — underwater and on-land footage that could help identify the owner.
What Was Recovered
The memory contains images of the island, reefs, beaches and possibly the owners themselves. It’s likely that the camera was lost during a dive or left on the beach by accident.
How to Find the Owners
Andrey posted the recovered footage on his Facebook page and asks for help:
- Share the post to increase visibility;
- Look carefully — you may recognize yourself or someone you know;
- Contact him via comments or private message if you think it’s your GoPro.
Similar cases of lost GoPros appear in the Koh Tao Lost & Found group, including models like GoPro 4 and GoPro 7, often lost during diving or on the beach.
Why This Matters
For the real owner, this camera is not just a device — it’s personal memories. Returning it is more about honor than money, and many would be grateful for such a gesture.
How to Claim the GoPro
If you recognize yourself or someone you know:
- Leave a comment or send a message to Andrey;
- Describe the circumstances of the loss and personal details;
- Agree on a way to receive the camera or a copy of the files.
Conclusion
This story is a reminder that kindness and attention still matter during travel. With a bit of luck and social media, the GoPro can return to its owner — and the memories will find their home again.
