Dad...... Teen son found dead in scuba diving accident testing out Christmas

A Florida father and his teenage son, anxious to try
out new scuba diving equipment they received for
Christmas, drowned during a cave dive Wednesday,
MyFoxTampaBay.com reported. Darrin Spivey and Dillon Sanchez, his 15-year-old
son, were last seen alive entering the Eagles Nest
Sink location in Weeki Wachee, a town north of Port
Richey on the state's west coast. There's a sign
near the pond's entrance alerting divers that the
cave is dangerous and intended for advanced divers. Spivey was an experienced diver but his son was
not certified. Neither were experienced in cave
diving. The two were seen by a hunter who saw
them suited up at 11 a.m. Christmas morning and
when he returned at about 6 p.m., he noticed their
car was still there. After the two failed to return home, Spivey's
fiancée alerted authorities. She also took a dive
when she saw their car still parked near the
diving location, Denise Moloney, a Hillsborough
County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said. "She wasn't able to find them. We sent divers
down Christmas night, and they found Mr.
Sanchez at about 67 feet and Mr. Spivey at 127
feet." The two were found at about 8:30 p.m. Robert Brooks, an experienced cave diver who knew
Spivey, told The Tampa Bay Times that it seems as though their deaths could have been
avoided. "The sad thing is, I told him, 'One night they’re going
to call me to come get you,"' Brooks, who worked in
their recovery effort, said.
