Watch a vacationer's dropped phone go on an exotic underwater odyssey...

and then go viral.

While vacationing in Tulum, Mexico, Lina Nassiri recorded herself taking a tropical plunge

but ended up dropping her iPhone in the process.

I had a phone... like a waterproof case, so my phone was in it.

With the water pressure and everything, I just lost it.

A lifeguard ended up retrieving the still-recording phone shortly thereafter.

"It's still filming!"

And when Nassiri went to view the video, she saw what the phone had seen:

a vibrant underwater landscape complete with friendly photobombing fish and everything.

Nassiri decided to share the surprising sub-aquatic video on TikTok

and says she was blown away by the response.

I was not expecting 50 million people to see it.
