  • We would not hesitate to recommend Gary ... (2020)

    "Gary Penta is the BEST!!! I will never forget the evening when my ring slid off my finger, bounced on the decking, and dropped into Lake Dora. Not able to sleep, I found the Ring Finders website around 3 am on a Sunday. The next morning my husband and I, along with many friends, desperately looked for someone to recommend a diver we could trust. By early afternoon, I contacted Gary in desperation. He immediately made arrangements to meet my husband at the marina. Bill (my husband) was impressed with Gary's integrity and professionalism. After 15 minutes in the water, the ring was found and the smile on Bill's face says it all. We would not hesitate to recommend Gary and only suggest that if you lose a piece of jewelry, you should contact him as soon as possible."
