Apparently, the Physicist Henry W. Kendall was killed at Wakulla Spring
diving with the USDCT.  Henry Kendall was a principal investigator in
the MIT/SLAC collaboration in the late 60's (also known as the "deep
inelastic collision" experiment).  This is a very famous experiment, and
there were many difficulties interpreting the results.  At the end of
the day, this was the primary experiment that confirmed the existence of
quarks.  He was awarded the 1990 Nobel prize for his work.  Evidently,
he was also a scuba enthusiast.  This is a major loss.
