Thank you

I am trying to register new geocaches but I am running into the problem that there is already a cache within a 0.1 mi of my location. Is there a way around this? On a side note, my caches are underwater. I am president of a scuba club and have build 15 caches to be placed underwater throughout the area. The coordinates are for the entry site, and the hint would be compass headings and time to the "exact" location. The problem is that a number of our local dive sites also double as beaches and parks.

The original idea was to have people sign the outside of the tube or attach a slate to the tube which would allow them to sign and easily replaceable. I now see I have to find something to fit inside or not register them. The guidelines state that the log be replaceable. Does this mean if I put a smaller slate inside the cache, it can be removed, cleaned and replaced to make room for more people to sign I have found only a handfull of underwater geocaches while living in the Caribbean but never logged any because I didn't know about it. They were mostly statues and attached logs or boxes with trinkets in them. I joined this forum when I posted my question. The point of using PVC pipe and signing of the container would allow divers to open underwater. One of the caches I found in TX had to be brought up, opened, closed, and brought back down. We will be placing some of these on shipwrecks 100-140ft deep making this impossible.

I am in the process of creating an underwater network of geocaches. My question is about geocoins and/or trackables. Do I place a coin in the cache as we put them out? Leave them empty and allow the first person to place the coin in? We were going to create our own trackable coins. Are they necessary or would trinkets be more fun? The caches themselves are 6 inch PVC tubes with concrete forming the base at one end and a PVC cap at the other end. There will be a pencil to allow people to sign the tube. Cheers, Ryan
