DO YOU EVER DIVE AND JUST FEEL AROUND OR DO YOU ONLY DIVE WHERE YOU CAN SEE?

Hey glassman, The new river is very clear. it runs through the mtns fron NC through VA into WVA. It has a rocky bottom in most places and quite a few small water falls. It ranges from anywhere from 5 feet to 25 feet in depth . The water is about 20 feet deep where all the underwater dumps are and around the RR trestles it is about 25 feet deep The water is clear so visiability is usually good especially on suuny days,. It gets a little murky as you are digging or moving the sand and silt but the current is always moving. When the bottles are lying on the bottom you can see them before you piock them up otherwise I dig and move the silt.

Very scary about those damn snappers, and they move quick. The biggest I've seen in the wild was in North Alabama, the size of a footstool, or small clothes basket. I saw one at the Denver zoo transferred from Texas the size of a bathtub.

This one was about the size of a clothes basket. When hes around its time to get out of the water.
