He told me before he passed away that "The Price he paid for the treasure was too high" and "If he would have known the true cost he would have never gone looking"! He was the first dive shop in the world to have a commercial dive boat! He smoked too much and was always hustling everyone to keep the operation going until they found the Ship. He was just about to the end the day they found it! Then 13 years fighting the Feds and State for control and NOAA still fines the operation for disturbing Turtle grass, just a cost of doing business he once told me!
