Martin Weddell retrieving a wedding ring A HERO diver has felt a sense of achievement after finding multiple wedding rings in Berkshire waters. Crowthorne company Divecrew has come to the rescue on many occasions to help couples find their sentimental jewellery. Other times, master diving instructor Martin Weddell has found phones, boat covers and boat propellers.
Lisa Church, for example, lost her ring in 2020 after a boat spider crawled across her hand giving her the fright of her life. Martin Weddell said he also found a ring in the River Thames in Windsor after a woman had lost weight during the pandemic.
