That was a great piece. We spent 6 weeks on Great Exuma Island in the Bahamas (Al Roker's home island) and all I wanted to do was hunt lobsters and gold! I need to find some Mel Fisher stories and get back down there!
Thanks for posting this link.

Nearly 400 years before Keith Webb’s Blue Water Ventures—joint-venture partner of Mel Fishers Treasures—began searching for the remains of the 1622 fleet shipwreck Santa Margarita in the Florida Straits, two 17th century salvors, Captain Gaspar de Vargas and Havana businessman Francisco Núñez Melián, used Florida "Indians" and pearl divers from the Caribbean island of Margarita to recover treasure from the sunken galleon. On April 21, 2010, BWV diver Gavin Rall (left, with Capt Dan Porter, right) surfaced with this carved, polished greenstone artifact.

Hello Latitude Chaser,

Here is a link to some Mel Fisher movies.

Mel's Matinee - Mel Fisher's Treasures

I have read a few of the books that describe Mel and his life. Very interesting to say the least. I find the comments from current day divers saying there is nothing out there to find to be ridiculous.
