Mel Fisher found the Atocha on July 19th 1985. He was at the end of finances and salvage permit when they found the mother load on the very last day of His permit!!! Tragety struck a year before when He lost his son, his sons' wife and 2 salvors as the boat they were in capsized. He never gave up and said before every dive, "This Is The Day"
