Equipment For Scuba Diving



The SS Tarpon is a shipwreck that has a long history. She went down in 1937 killing 18 crew members, including Willis G. Barrow who was her captain. Adley Baker, a member of the crew, managed to survive by swimming 9 miles to shore in gale force winds. It was a difficult 25-hour trip, but Baker lived to tell it all.
