An Instagram travel couple have shared the moment they got engaged underwater, and the video is stunning.
Kelly Castille and Kody Workman AKA Positravelty have been together for three years and have 200,000 followers on Instagram.
On their recent trip to Jamaica, Workman decided to propose to Castille while snorkeling in a cave — and the beautiful moment was captured on video.
Castille told Insider she had thought they were simply shooting content for their Instagram account, and was completely surprised when she saw the ring.
"It was very shocking and honestly a little confusing at first!" she said.
"Since we are both professional photographers, he planned this whole outing to make it seem as though it was meant to be a photoshoot — something very common for us — and as a result, I expected nothing.
"When we started the 'photoshoot' I dove down, looked up, saw him open the box and reveal the ring inside and I couldn't believe that it was actually happening! I was between disbelief and excitement, tears, and laughter once we reached the surface, I had to ask if it was real."
It wasn't until Workman said the words "Will you marry me?" that Castille really believed what was happening.
Fortunately, she said yes.
Workman told Insider he'd bought the ring earlier in the year and had been waiting for the perfect moment to propose for a long time.
"Maybe it sounds a bit cliché to say, but I knew she was the one from the moment I met her," he said.
"When the trip to Jamaica was planned, I brought it along, hiding it in different parts of the camera equipment bag so she wouldn't stumble upon it, and crossed my fingers that I would find the perfect place to do it."
Workman decided to pop the question underwater because the sea has been a big part of the couple's love story.
They met three years earlier on a small island in Bocas del Toro in the Caribbean, where Workman was living and working as a scuba diving instructor and hostel bartender.
"Kelly checked in to the hostel on day two of what was supposed to be a three-month solo trip between jobs and we have been together ever since — she never took her new job and the two of us continued to travel," he said.
"Meeting in Bocas and living a travel life together was amazing and we have chased many island destinations, beaches, and done tons of diving and freediving excursions together all over the world.
"Being underwater is something that we both love and enjoy, and it is also something that we use a lot in our photography to show movement.
"Proposing to Kelly in an island setting, underwater, just felt so right to me and once we saw the cave I knew it was the right spot for us."
The couple's followers have been expressing their joy and amazement at the proposal video, with some pointing out the risk of the ring being lost underwater.
"Could you imagine if that fell?" commented follower Mandy K.
But it wouldn't have been a Positravelty proposal without some risk involved — the couple are known for their dramatic stunts and photos, such as hanging off the edge of an infinity pool or a cliff.
Fortunately, the proposal went to plan though.
"It was truly incredible and the memory makes us both smile every time we talk about it," Castille said.
"I love how unexpected and unique it was. Kody still tells me, 'I wish you could have seen your eyes' when he recaps on the moment I noticed the ring.
"It was truly the most special moment of my life and I will remember it forever."
