The bodies of Darrin Spivey, 35, and his son Dillon Sanchez were found on Christmas night in an underwater cave they were exploring in Hernando County, Florida, according to the Tampa Tribune.
The newspaper said the pair arrived at the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Refuge around 11am on Wednesday to dive into the 300-foot (91-metre) Eagles Nest Sink – a deceivingly complex cave system which was not recommended for novices.
Spivey’s fiancé Holly King first became concerned that afternoon, when the two had failed to return and she couldn’t reach Spivey on his mobile phone.
Ms King drove herself to the dive site and found their empty car. She alerted the authorities around 7pm.
Recovery divers began searching the waters an hour later and found both bodies by midnight. Sanchez’s body was discovered just inside the cave at 67 feet and his father’s further at 127 feet.
"It was very unfortunate," Assistant Hernando County Fire Chief Kevin Carroll told the Tribune. "Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends."
