A GoPro pulled from the depths of Cultus Lake captured the moment its owner jumped off the cliff.

Footage of the jump into the lake in 2012 remained on the camera, and the GoPro was retrieved this week from a depth of about 100 feet by Aquatic Monkey, a.k.a. Clay Helkenberg of Chilliwack.

Helkenberg posted about his lake find on Aug. 21 in an effort to get it back to the long-lost owner.

GoPro owner Terry Brookes of Vancouver chimed in on the post, recounting how the camera fell off when he hit the water.

Just before he jumped off the cliff, Brookes can be heard on the video yelling: B次元官网网址淟ife or death situation! Going in!B次元官网网址�

The footage shows the GoPro sinking into the lakeB次元官网网址檚 green depths until it comes to rest on a rock.

Brookes posted that he never thought heB次元官网网址檇 see his GoPro camera again:

B次元官网网址淚 came up but it didnB次元官网网址檛.B次元官网网址�

Another clip shows the underwater drone removing the GoPro from the lake bottom.

Helkenberg said he borrowed the underwater drone from Deeptrekker, and controlled it from his boat, driving it to the bottom to search for lost items. The only reason he found the GoPro was because of the droneB次元官网网址檚 ability to descend into deep areas that would normally require scuba-diving equipment.

Helkenberg has a channel where he records his underwater finds and travels. Anyone who has lost something underwater can email him at aquatic.monkey.canada@gmail.com
