Summary
On August 18th, 2010, Ben McDaniel went cave diving at Vortex Spring, a popular tourist spot in the Florida Panhandle. He never resurfaced. Over a dozen expert divers spent days searching for Ben, but didn’t find him. Some came to believe he was not in the cave at all. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Ben McDaniel. Despite extensive searches by some of the world's most accomplished cave divers, neither Ben nor his equipment has ever been recovered. Ben experienced some traumatic events in his life, which have led some people to speculate that he may have wanted to disappear and start his life over. But his family does not believe that. They have spent their time and money trying to recover him from the depths of the cave.
