Thanks Druggist and Sand. I don't think there was any real danger of harm. It was just one of those crazy things that happens now and then. However, it is a good idea to uncork a sealed bottle if it is going to sit out in the hot sun while you're still searching.
Excellent advice Privvy. I've never ever seen a shark though. Obviously not here but even when I've been in tropical waters. Nothiing. Not so much as a nurse shark. A few rays though. They're kinda related I guess.
Mr.Blobbottlebob,i have been thinking about diving for bottles but don't have much experience. the river and creeks im looking at are anywhere from 2 feet to 15ft with some current. do you wear a wetsuit for river diving and do you wear steel mesh gloves for hand protection.any other pointers would be appreciated.
