Florida, unidentified cave
September 1974
Four Florida men, Thomas Bennett Crowder (19), James Barten Bennett (23), Eric Allen Sedwick (23) and Henry Louis Nielsen (22), drowned while scuba diving in a cave near Branford. Analysis: The Suwanee County sheriff speculated that the men did not keep track of their diving time, and ran out of air as a result. Multiple fatalities are not at all uncommon in scuba caving accidents. In 1967 four men drowned in Jenny Spring, Florida.
