Hello ScubaBoard! As some of you know, we are producing an investigative documentary about the strange disappearance of Ben McDaniel, while on a scuba dive at Vortex Spring, in north Florida. He was last seen entering the cave at about 7pm on a Wednesday evening, and has not been heard from since. Rescue and recovery divers, (many of whom are ScubaBoard members) found no trace of Ben in the cave. Over 40 of the world’s top technical cave divers have searched, for almost a year, and cannot find any sign of Ben. Yet, some people insist his body is in that cave! Others, including some who knew him, suggest other theories. Was it an accident? Did Ben pull a hoax, and has started a new life somewhere far away? Or could it be something more sinister?
This journalistic documentary film, by acclaimed underwater videographer Jill Heinerth, is now in post-production and will be released in 2012. The title is "Ben's Vortex."
