    The "Woody Jasper Miracle" is how I have always described this event to others.. ever since it happened 28 years ago.
    The fact that Woody was there. (Otter Springs, btw)...with full bottles, and the ability to do everything right....just can't be described as anything less.
    My favorite part (beyond the morbid reality of the fatality (only one, could have been a triple drowning...they have happened before, fyi to all you people who have been doing this for a short time ...), is when Woody stated, in his great N. Fla. drawl...something to the effect of "this dead guy was motioning to me was just about the highpoint of the day"...........PRICELESS!!!!!
    BTW... Tom Morris and Pete Butt are two of the "OW divers" depicted as going unknowingly (watch the group walking through the woods as they walk to the spring) to thier doom in the TV version you see. Wes did all the video work......I'm sure many other N. Fla. cave diving community notables were also involved, just don't remember who, and the credits are not shown on the YouTube video.

    North Floridians have an accent? It just sounds like plain old talking to me.
