Diver Emerges After Spending More Than 120 Hours Underwater

By Anonymous

September 5, 2004 -- Northeast Tennessee diver, Jerry Hall, broke the surface of Watauga Lake in Hampton, TN at 10:16 am EST Friday, September 3--- more than 120 hours after he began his dive on Sunday, August 29.

Hall’s dive team began raising his dive platform, which was 12 feet below the lake’s surface, at 5:00 am EST at the rate of one foot per hour. Hall was held at the six foot mark, and rapidly made his ascent from there. With the assistance of two dive team members, Hall stood upright, then boarded a boat unaided. Hall then spoke with media and well-wishers, visited with his dive team and ate two country ham biscuits. After a couple of hours, and a visit to his dive site, Hall showered and is now resting in anticipation of a steak dinner later this evening.
