It is noted that the man lost his Savoy pass (plastic card) in 2003, when thieves broke into his car and threw the contents of his briefcase with documents into the water in Wellington harbor. In 2016, the man’s passport was found on the seabed thousands of kilometers from New Zealand – while diving under Antarctic ice at Cape Evans.
Rob Budd of the New Zealand Research Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) spotted the card on the bottom while studying Antarctica’s bottom dwellers.
