Join Ron Watson as he talks about diving in southwest Florida one of the most fossil rich areas of the Americas. He will share what it is like to dive for fossils and the fascinating stories he learned about the fossils.
About the presenter: Watson’s interest in diving for fossils started over 30 years ago after learning about an area in Florida touted as “The Fountain of Youth” that was discovered by Ponce De Leon. The spring itself is a geological and archeological treasure that can only really be seen and explored by diving. Ron has worked as a scientific diver for the New England Aquarium and as the Chief Scientific Diver for the Charlotte Marine Research Team.
