+tabulator32 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I've been noticing a bit of a trend in forum thread concerning the "extremes" of one type of cache or another. As scuba diver, I'm curious where the deepest cache is located. Anyone know of any "hydrocaches" that require mixed gas equipment? What's the deepest cache YOU have ever seen or heard of?

Scubaman2151 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Lol, not very deep but 8ft deep on a wreak off the shore of Lake Erie in Ohio. Quote Link to comment

+tabulator32 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Rainbow Hydrothermal Vents by Lord British (GCG822) Wow! Truly amazing! I think that early entry is probably going to hold for a while! Of course, I would like to go claim the prize but the $55,000 fee is a bit stiff..although...it DOES include meals!

+fauxSteve Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 So he's hidden the deepest cache, I wonder if he'll hide the highest cache on his visit into space next year? Talk about an expensive smiley! Quote Link to comment
CaleD Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 The cache can be orbiting the earth! Wouldn't that be a challenge for other cachers to grab... Quote Link to comment

CerealBoxMonsters Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Not to be technical, but I was under the impression that "geo" meant earth. So aren't caches that are submerged really hydrocaches? And caches in space, a stratocache? I'm not sure if there are any websites for either of those, but this one is for geocaches.

+Shriekback Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well I usually use my T-16 for bullseyeing womp rats, but I'm sure I could make an exception for a stratocache! Quote Link to comment

+WRASTRO Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 The cache can be orbiting the earth! Wouldn't that be a challenge for other cachers to grab... The container would have to be in a geosynchronous orbit otherwise it wouldn't meet the cache guidlines of being in a fixed location. Quote Link to comment

As scuba diver, I'm curious where the deepest cache is located. Anyone know of any "hydrocaches" that require mixed gas equipment? What's the deepest cache YOU have ever seen or heard of? I'm in the final phases of creating a cache which I'll call "Let's Get Wet." Tests show it will be at 80 fsw. While this could be done on air with a single Al-80, Nitrox in doubles would be more prudent as vis is generally around 10 feet and a search could be somewhat protracted. Stay tuned.

+robbymcdobby Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hmm...I forsee considerable difficulty with "space cache" maintenance and upkeep. That one may be a few centuries away yet. What about caching on the moon? Lunacaching? Quote Link to comment

team tisri Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 http://coord.info/GC4W9H7 The attributes say "boat required". I was curious what kind of poison plants might be found down there... Quote Link to comment
+terratin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The deepest cache on land is probably around the Dead Sea. Mrs. terratin Quote Link to comment
