Didn't they do another one like that about the St. Johns River? I enjoyed that one.

I'm pretty sure I saw this one. They had a dive team with a beacon, and a team on foot tracking their path. They meandered under neighborhoods and through peoples houses, through a supermarket, a strip mall, and a golf course (of course). Along the way they saw numerous well pipes sticking down. Definitely a unique perspective.
