Diver retrieves phone from ocean, still working after day underwater
Diver retrieves phone from ocean, still working after day underwater
2026-06-15
A diving business in Penghu recently retrieved a call from a distressed tourist who dropped their phone in the ocean. The instructor immediately put on his wetsuit and went out to find it, successfully retrieving it from the muddy ocean floor. But what’s most surprising is that even after being submerged for a day, it was still working like normal.
A fully equipped diver searches through the murky seabed. Before long, they find what they’re looking for.
An iPhone 15 lies right there in the mud at the bottom of the ocean. The diver lets out a gasp as he picks up the phone, then exclaims in surprise as the screen lights up like normal.
The phone’s owner was a tourist who came to Penghu’s Caiyuan Harbor to fish. When they went out to sea a few days ago, they accidentally dropped their phone into the water. But they didn’t give up hope, and contacted a local diving business for help. The instructor figured it wouldn’t be difficult to find, as the ocean isn’t very deep in that area. But to his surprise, the visibility was so bad he could barely see his own hand.

Diving instructor
The depth was about 5 meters and visibility was around 0.2 meters. I looked for nearly 10 minutes. It was nearby, but still took 10 minutes of searching.
He did eventually find the phone. Considering it had been submerged for over a day, it was lucky he found it in the first place. Even luckier still, it was completely undamaged.
Member of public
I think it’s crazy, but also pretty amazing. It was down there a whole day and still works.

Phone repairman
If it’s still turning on when you pick it up, don’t mess with it. If you can turn it off, turn it off first. Then take it apart to see if there’s any water remaining inside.
The iPhone 15 has an IP68 water resistance rating, meaning it can last for up to 30 minutes in water up to 6 meters deep. But surviving an entire day on the muddy ocean floor is another matter entirely, amazing even the professionals.

超神! 遊客求救"手機掉海裡"潛水教練尋回:泡水一天還能使用
2026-06-15
澎湖有潛水業者，接到遊客的求救電話，希望能幫忙找回掉進海裡的手機，潛水教練立刻穿裝備，下水尋找，最後在海底淤泥中，順利找回手機，讓人驚訝的是，這支手機泡水超過一天，被找到時，螢幕還亮著，居然還能正常使用。
潛水人員全副武裝，在混濁的海底，仔細搜尋，沒多久，發現目標。
一支iphone15手機，就躺在水底的淤泥當中，潛水員發出驚呼，興奮地把手機拿起來，更驚奇的是，螢幕竟然還亮起，完全沒壞。
這裡是澎湖菜園港區，手機的主人是來澎湖旅遊的釣客，日前出海釣魚時，手機不小心掉入海中，但手機主人不放棄希望，聯絡當地潛水業者，希望能下海幫忙找，原本潛水教練以為，地點是淺水區，難度應該不高，沒想到海底能見度相當差，幾乎伸手不見五指。

“水深大概落在5米，能見度0.2米左右，找了將近10分鐘，雖然很近但是也找10分鐘。”
潛水教練順利找回手機，只是手機泡在水裡超過一天，不只幸運找回，又完好無損，實在讓人相當驚訝。

“我覺得蠻扯的啊，但其實蠻厲害的，一天了還是可以用。”

“如果拿起來的時候，它都還在開機狀態，那就先不要動它，能關機就先關機，之後拆開去檢查裡面，還有沒有多餘的水分。”
事實上，iPhone15擁有IP68抗水等級，代表能在最深6公尺的水中，長達30分鐘而不影響功能，但這次手機卻在滿是泥沙的海底，存活一天，也讓業者驚訝，手機實在太強大。
