"Silver Springs" is famous for its crystal clear waters where underwater scenes from many old Hollywood films where shot like "Tarzan", and "Creature from the Black Lagoon", to name a few. “Over 155 episodes were made for the Sea Hunt series and of those 140 were made at Silver Springs. I am excited to participate in this, The Florida Springsfest 2016. The importance of the preservation and conservation of lands surrounding Florida State Park’s Silver Springs is at a critical point. The event promoters and Vintage Equipment Scuba Divers hope to bring about an increased awareness and renewed understanding of this conservation effort.

Van Frank has been scuba diving since he was 11 and was originally certified to Scuba dive in 1967. “My interest in diving came from my oldest brother and of course from watching those early shows of Sea Hunt starring Lloyd Bridges who portrayed Mike Nelson, as a retired Navy Diver.” Van Frank continued, “I am looking forward to diving in Silver Springs and working with the thousands of visitors coming to the event. My plans are to encourage those stewards of tomorrow to become involved in the preservation of this important natural resource both above and below the surface.”
