Would you do it?! Dangerous and daring, this is sponge diving in Tarpon Springs, Florida, the self-proclaimed sponge capital of the world.

Plenty more on this place to follow, including the great Greek food you can still find in this quiet, working village. #LoveFlorida #Thinktheusa #LiveAmplified #ad | Inside the Travel Lab
