A Louisiana man drowned after proposing to his girlfriend through an underwater window at a seaside resort in Tanzania on Friday.

According to Kenesha Antoine, her boyfriend Steven Weber swam to the window to propose to her and she recorded the romantic moment.

Steven pulled out a note saying, “I can’t hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you. But… Everything I love about you, I love more every day!”

On the other side of the paper, he wrote, “Will you please be my wife? Marry me???” He also pulled out a box with a ring in it.

While waiting for her new fiancé to swim back to the cabin, Antoine posted the video on social media, along with the comment: “Yes! Yes! A Million Times Yes!” A short time later, she was told that Weber had not returned to the surface and had sadly drowned.

Here are the details via Kenesha Antoine’s Facebook post.

Steven and Kenesha had booked four nights for a once-in-a-lifetime trip at the resort’s underwater room, which lies approximately 250m (820ft) from the shore.

The rooms cost around $1,700-a-night (£1,300), and the cabin is anchored in water around 10m (32ft) deep.

On the third day of their stay, Steven, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, plunged into the water to make his proposal wearing only googles and flippers.

The Manta Resort told  BBC Mr. Weber “tragically drowned while free diving alone outside the underwater room” on Thursday afternoon.

“It is with the deepest regret that we inform that a fatal accident occurred at The Manta Resort on Thursday 19 September, 2019,” the resort said in a statement.

Matthew Saus, CEO of the resort, said “everyone is shaken to the core” by Mr Weber’s death.

This is such a heartbreaking story and we offer our sincere condolences to Kenesha. Please send her love on her page.
