“Today’s the day”. That phrase was made popular in the Keys and with many scuba divers by Mel Fisher who lead the expedition that found the remains of the Spanish ship Nuestra Senora de Atocha off Key West in 1985. There is a brief Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_ship_Nuestra_Señora_de_Atocha_(1620).
