\u201cThey weren\u2019t talking very long. All he said is it\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s kind of murky,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Kieley posted the material to Facebook, where it went semi-viral.<\/p>\n
\u201cHundreds of people, liking, commenting and sharing on Facebook,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the post ended up in front of the camera owner\u2019s mother \u2014 who recognized her son from the short snippet of his voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said it sounded a lot like me, it looked a lot like me,\u201d said Shay Lalor, who lost the camera in May.<\/p>\n
Kieley and Lalor met up Tuesday afternoon to exchange the camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought maybe someone would find it but I thought the chances of me getting it back were pretty slim,\u201d Lalor said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s shocking, it\u2019s amazing, I\u2019m stoked.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time Kieley\u2019s family has put a camera from the sea into its owner\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife found a camera about six months ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt actually worked underwater \u2026 we took it to a local dive shop here, Wilson\u2019s Diving, and Chris, the owner, had heard about someone losing a camera and he got it back to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
