A scuba dive in Fiji<\/a> ushered in an unforgettable proposal well below the ocean\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

Kim Paterson, 32, was stunned when her then-boyfriend, William Paterson, 37, asked her to marry him during a dive near the Salamanda shipwreck, news agency SWNS reported.<\/p>\n

The couple, both avid divers from Auckland, New Zealand, were exploring the underwater site<\/a> on April 10, 2023, at about 100 feet underwater when the plan was set in motion.<\/p>\n

Before entering the water, William Paterson quietly told the dive team what he intended to do \u2014 and asked for their help in choosing the location.<\/p>\n

He told his girlfriend they would take a photo together in front of the shipwreck<\/a> \u2014 something she found unusual.<\/p>\n

“Good practice in diving is to not touch the substrate, which, as experienced divers, we both know,” she told SWNS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So, I was confused and a little frustrated when he insisted we stand next to each other.”<\/p>\n

As another diver prepared to snap the photo, Paterson produced a ring underwater and dropped to one knee.<\/p>\n

“I was in complete shock when he brought out a ring<\/a>,” Kim Paterson said. “I looked at him and back at the ring a few times to try and process what was happening.”<\/p>\n

She said he smiled at her and gave a small nod \u2014 to reassure her the proposal was genuine.<\/p>\n

Paterson had mounted a GoPro<\/a> and handed it to a fellow diver to capture the moment, SWNS reported.<\/p>\n

The excitement left Kim Paterson so overwhelmed that she barely remembered the dive itself, she said.<\/p>\n

“I ended up using a lot more air on that dive with the excitement<\/a>, and I barely remember the shipwreck, so we will probably have to revisit it one day,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After they resurfaced, the dive crew and fellow divers celebrated with the couple<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair later returned to their resort<\/a> for champagne.<\/p>\n

The Patersons first met in 2021 \u2014 and tied the knot<\/a> in December 2024.<\/p>\n

The couple continues to scuba dive regularly \u2014 including during their honeymoon in the Maldives, where they encountered whale sharks and manta rays.<\/p>\n

For anyone interested in Fiji scuba diving, the MV Salamanda is “a standout site,” according to a blog about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“One of the most remarkable features of the wreck is that she rests perfectly upright on the seabed \u2014 a rare and striking sight underwater,” according to fijidiving.com.<\/a> “Sitting on a sandy bottom \u2026 the wreck gives the impression of a ship paused mid-journey, creating a dramatic and immersive dive experience.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
