Greymouth technician Andrew McRoberts is happy to be back on-line with his smartphone after it spent a week at the bottom of Lake Brunner.
The Samsung S3 fell into the water as he was jumping from a boat on to the jetty at Moana.
"It fell into 2m of dark murky water and initially I couldn't find it, but I came back a week later, waded out and dived around where I thought it was.
"When I pulled it out it was covered in lake mould.
"I dried it out and it's now working again."
