Man Proposes to Girlfriend During Underwater Dive

A man made a surprise marriage proposal to his girlfriend while they were scuba diving in Fiji on April 10, 2023, footage posted to TikTok shows.

Footage from Kim Evans shows her fiance William Paterson getting down on one knee on the seafloor while holding a wedding ring. Paterson puts the ring on her finger then gestures for her to answer whether or not she accepts the proposal. Evans then removes her mouthpiece and kisses Paterson, confirming their engagement.

Evans told Storyful that her fiance “had the ring for around four months before this whilst thinking of the best way to propose.”

While on vacation in Fiji, the couple purchased an “unlimited dive package.” It was during a dive on the second day of their vacation that Paterson made his move.

“He organised a special dive with the dive crew, requesting a good spot to propose. They were very excited and practiced using our GoPro beforehand so that they could film the moment for us,” she said.

Paterson confirmed their engagement on Facebook after the proposal. Credit: Kim Evans via Storyful
