  • ALT1:... that after a month of searching an underwater cave following the disappearance of Ben McDaniel five years ago today at Florida's Vortex Spring (pictured), some divers came to believe he had not died there, or might still be alive?
  • ALT2:... that decompression tanks belonging to Ben McDaniel found following his disappearance five years ago today at Florida's Vortex Spring (pictured) contained only air, not the gas mix used by cave divers?
  • ALT3:... that two subsequent deaths may be related to the disappearance of Ben McDaniel five years ago today at Florida's Vortex Spring (pictured)?

  • Comment: The phrasing of the hooks is particular to the selected one running on August 18, the five-year anniversary of the last reported sighting of McDaniel, which I hope I am in time for.

  • good 2 go. new enough, long enough, inline citations and prose checks out. Sources are ok. Good work on a really interesting article. Any of the hooks will do on the date suggested by the nominator.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:39, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Note: striking original hook and ALT1, both of which are far too long to qualify for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
