That does sound like a great dive...I've heard that the Cooper River is full of artifacts...you'll have to share with us what you find
and I'd like to know about the Meg teeth too

Whew... when you said fossils I thought you were referring to divers like me!
Mishelle- meg teeth, eh? I think I only have two, which is enough for now. What an incredible creature that must have been.

I'm with Bill, I thought this tread was about old divers but with all this rain we have had lately what vis the Cooper River had is probably gone.

the cooper river is a black water dive.. with no ambient light. so the viz is ever how strong a light you have.. thank goodness for HID's:) Its basically a "solo,night dive" in the daytime.. but man its sure addictive!!I'm with Bill, I thought this tread was about old divers but with all this rain we have had lately what vis the Cooper River had is probably gone.
anyone point me to the directions to postin some pics on here?

That's a good thing to know. I only have a mini-C light. Sounds like I need a better light for that dive.

Yes, you will need much more then that to see on the bottom of that river, but it is a fun dive!!!!That's a good thing to know. I only have a mini-C light. Sounds like I need a better light for that dive.
Which end is up?
