There was a GoPro Hero3 camera somewhat pointed in the direction of the fish. Stephanie decided to give the folks recording the video something to look at. So, she gave the fish a kiss. We have no idea what research was supposed to be done, but Stephanie was not able to turn it into a prince.
Note: This took place near the Wellwood Wreck area of Molasses Reef. Molasses Reef is part of the Florida Keys national marine sanctuary. This is a protected area and you need special permission to conduct research there.

Cheers.Underwater Proposal / Silent Auction with Sea Experience in Fort Lauderdale, FloridaJason Nocks2013-05-28 | An underwater proposal I shot for Sea eXperience in Fort Lauderdale. Kevin had set up a silent auction item for a private charter. Alana thought they "won" the silent auction. The dives were fun (a juvenile jacknife fish, several pufferfish, a green moray, etc.) and the couple was awesome and happy. Congratulations! Originially, they asked me to keep it unlisted until they could tell friends and family. Oh, and the guy at the end introduced them to each other.
