We took a day excursion to Tarpon Springs. A lot of culture regarding the Sponge industry and Greek influence. We took the tour with an authentic sponge boat and diver. The owner was 84 years young and told about making the movie "Beyond the 12 mile reef". Staring Gilbert Roland, Terry Moore and a very young Robert Wagner.
The writers were working on a TV show and asked if any one would be suitable for the underwater role. His employee "Lloyd Bridges" said he'd give it a go.
