On August 18, 2010, McDaniel went to Vortex Spring for a dive into an underwater cave, fifty-eight feet below the water’s surface. After resurfacing, he filled his tanks at the nearby dive shop and spent the afternoon alongside the spring testing equipment and making notes in his dive log.

Later in the evening, he began descending again for another dive around 7:30 pm. McDaniel never returned home and has not been heard from again.
