"The one-year prison sentence handed a US citizen who admitted drowning his wife during a scuba dive while honeymooning in Australia was extended to 18 months by a Brisbane appeals court Friday.

Cameron Dick, attorney general in Queensland's state government, had appealed the lenience of the sentence given Gabe Watson, 32, over the death of 26-year-old Tina Watson on the Great Barrier Reef in 2003.

Chilling video footage inadvertently captured by a fellow diver showed Watson swimming away while his wife of 11 days sank to the ocean floor."
