Michael Harlow is an experienced San Diego diver and PADI Divemaster who recently contacted me after returning from a diving vacation with a remarkable discovery he wanted to share with the diving world. So remarkable, in fact, that he has set up a fundraising effort on Kickstarter.com to finance a return trip to the WWII sunken wreck where he discovered a hidden compartment filled with unusual crystals that sparkled and changed color in his underwater light. He wants to assemble a professional dive team to go back to retrieve some samples for analysis.

I caught up with him the other day to ask him a few more questions about his discovery.
