Thanks for all the replies. WRT the water caches being 'in the water', there are lots of bankside caches in Hampton Roads that are not obviously boat-only looking at the location and attributes, thus the idea for a specific symbol. I've climbed down a few banks to some water's edge caches.

Has anyone else found a hide and gone, 'Wow! I can't give enough favorite points for this!'
Here's an example of what I mean- part of a series of 'whodunnit' caches based upon the 'Clue' game.
The outside- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B85t7TC0Z6f6TzlLUkFGbktiMjg
The inside- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B85t7TC0Z6f6eFRLU0YzZGY1NHM
It's a real shame that 99.9% of the geocaching community will never see this hide. Should Groundspeak publish a photobook of the best hides in the world, stripped of their location info, for our enjoyment and posterity?

I'd like to recommend some new cache symbols-
If the cache has the 'Boat' or 'Scuba Gear' attributes, add a 'W" to the symbol- see Traditional/Water example - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B85t7TC0Z6f6TlhZV09neGlkajA/view?usp=sharing
If the cache has the 'Recommended for Kids' attribute, add a 'K' to the symbol- See Kid/Multi example - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B85t7TC0Z6f6NUFyV2Z1SGNhS28/view?usp=sharing
While Premium Members can search the attribute using Pocket Queries, adding the new symbols would enable anyone to find out if that cache nearby was kid-friendly or required a boat at a glance.

Thanks for the pointers. I don't use Instagram or follow blogs, but the thread is nice.
