Looking for information

[Scubastud16]

While this may seem a little morbid, I'm looking for any information on the death of a diver in the middle-to-late 60's named William or Billy Evans at Ponce De Leon Springs. I've tried google and other websites, but I can't find anything. Anything you can find/have in your possession would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Danny

Gene,

Thank you VERY much for getting back to me. I'll see what I can do about the newspaper articles. Is the site confirmed to be De Leon Springs near Deland? I appreciate your help.
