His name was Doug Summerhill. He was diving with Ken Clayton and two 
others off of the Miss Lindsey on the Jimmy Dolittle wrecks. The last 
time his dive buddy saw him was at 400' while they were heading up the 
anchor line, he was there one minute, then he was gone, reason unknown. 
He was humping a large video camera in a strong current, CO2 buildup is a 
possibility. They were diving Trimix, don't know the percentages, but Ken 
is experimenting with Neon as a mix gas.
