Thanks Mark.

Pigeonman. I would ALWAYS wear a wet (or a dry) suit. There is a lot of debris in any river. You will get all scratched or cut up without it (and plus you'll be warmer with it on). In terms of the depth. At two feet, I wouldn't take any gear (like your BC or tanks). Either just walk it - mucking with your feet - or stick your face in the water and pull yourself along. BTW - in two feet of water, the area is much easier searched. I think you'll have better luck where it's a least a little deeper. Having said that, I would do it in a second if I was finding old bottles.

My next advice is to be careful. There are branches, rocks, fences, often combined with poor visibility. A strong current alone can be dangerous. I don't know what your experience is so, I'll assume nothing. You MUST HAVE proper training. That means a PADI course taught by a certified instructor. If you don't have that, you are literally risking your life.

Lots of more advice or tips but I don't want to bore everyone. Let me know if you're interested.
