Tarpon Springs 1969...

Scan of an old slide.I remember this very well. This guy was very old when I saw him, and looked as if he'd been soaking in salt water for most of his life. He was a Greek sponge diver who went down and brought up sponges for the tourists. I don't know if the business was more than a tourist show, but he really did the hardhat dive.I was fascinated.
