    Default Bold City Divers, Jacksonville, Fl at Otter Springs

    I'm trying to contact any of the following people, all of whom lived in Jacksonville and did some of the first dives into the Otter Springs system in the early 1970's:

    Sam Diperna
    Vivien M. Taylor
    Robert Scott
    Patty Scott

    They were all officers in Bold City Divers, Inc. and used to dive there regularly. If I can locate them, or anyone else who dove that system prior to 1975, I'd like to ask them what they can remember about the system at that time.

    I believe Mr. Diperna may be deceased, but have included his name in hopes of locating someone who dove with him.

    SRWMD is engaged in dredging the sand from some vents that have not flowed in over 30 years, and any information about the location and size of the blocked conduits would be helpful.

    If no success, would suggest contacting Woody Jasper

    I've been researching this for some years now, and may have talked to Woody about this. He's definitely on my list of those to contact, but I believe he told me this predates his experience in there. If I get no results here, I'll try him again.
