Diving? - 1/6/2012 11:46:03 AM    rickoroni Posts: 83 Joined: 11/7/2010 Status: offline Anybody here dive for their bottles? I just moved down to Florida, where it appears that digging won't bring much luck, so I might consider going diving? Who hear could just give me idea on what that could be like. Let me know. And I thank you in advance. _____________________________ I love the feeling of dirt between my fingers. _____________________________________ Post #: 1

Oddly enough, I have never been diving in Florida. Here in Wisconsin, I look for the oldest area on a lake or river that I can find and then hop in. Every area has its challenges, and I think it pays to be safe. If there is a river, be careful with the current and debris. You can get tangled up in branches, fencing, fish lines . . .  so taking it slow and steady is always smart. As you learn in dive training, never panic. Finding stuff in salt water might be a bit different. I'd be careful with tides and the like. If you are fresh water diving there, you may have the additional concerns of alligators. I'd try to find a buddy if possible to look out for each other. . . Best of luck out there and be safe.  (in reply to rickoroni) Post #: 2

By the way, I live along the east coast near the West Palm area. _____________________________ I love the feeling of dirt between my fingers. _____________________________________ (in reply to sunrunner) Post #: 6
