+KickMixDJs Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I was wondering if anyone has seen an underwater cache or even if they are allowed by the rules? Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yes you can although it's best to have a cache that has contents that don't need to stay dry. Such a cache (now archived) is King Kahekili on Maui. Quote Link to comment

+treequest Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Recently i placed a cache in a old hand dug well in the woods.The container is a pvc pipe about 6 inches long with a glued cap at one end and the other was a rubber boot cap that you can tighten up with a screwdriver to make water tight.The water leval ia about 2 feet below the rock rim.The cache sits under the water with leaves and small sticks to keep it from floating up as well as keeping it out of site.I attached a line with a screwdriver to oped and close the cache.Most of the cachers had no idia where it was and the hint was a good one.I had lots of fun with this one.It is important that one cant fall in the well and get hurt or worse.It also isnt deep,about 4 feet .

+E = Mc2 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 A local cache, Beware the Deep, is a 7.62 ammo can, and has been under water for several years... Still dry on the inside. Quote Link to comment
rescue557 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 People hide caches everywhere on Earth! Some are submerged, some are buried, and I assume that it would be possible to even have one hidden in a cave. I'm just waiting for someone to try and out-do all of us by hiding a cache on the moon. Sure, I shouldn't speak to quickly; such a thing might be possible in the future. Who knows. Thomas Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 A local cache, Beware the Deep, is a 7.62 ammo can, and has been under water for several years... Still dry on the inside. Ammo boxes are by far the best to use when creating an underwater cache. MarcB Quote Link to comment
+Pablo Mac Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I got an FTF at an underwater cache the other day: First in the Water The cache was nicely placed, against a sheer wall on the bank of a swift-moving creek that forced me to approach from the other shore, but the container was a plastic lunchbox, and inside I found a shattered glass jar that the cache owner evidenly intended as a waterproofing measure - lame!

maddog1404 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I am looking for opinions on this cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...fd-02aae2ccc0a2 Quote Link to comment
rescue557 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Your cache is AWESOME! Let's just hope that someone is able to reach it! Quote Link to comment
Once-ler Hunters Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 The Cache "Rock Lobster" is a underwater cache at Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin. Good hiking, rock climbing, views, and very clear cold clean water to swim in. Quote Link to comment
+amytincan Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 how do they keep from floating? Quote Link to comment
kayaker22589 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Tie a rope to a cinder block, put a figure eight on a byte on the end of the rope, attach a carabiner, and clip it on the handle of the cache. Quote Link to comment
+amytincan Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I guess I was thinking about one you 'd have to do with Scuba ....It would be hard to get it down there to stay.... For a lake, pond or creek your way makes a lot of sense Kayak person... Quote Link to comment
FreeFloat Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I placed one in Kingston, Ontario........ although, to encourage the locals to come an' get it, it's called the Ambitious Snorkeler and sits at only 15' depth. I'm planning a deeper, scuba-necessary cache for my local Toronto area, as well....... Being a scuba diver and self-styled "Scubacacher" myself, this is a geocaching twist I'm thoroughly enjoying........... Quote Link to comment

+team kweb cakes Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I did one a couple weekends ago that's definately underwater but doesn't require scuba gear. Nice cache. Really hard to find and retrieve....but possible without going in! http://tinyurl.com/3poz4 Quote Link to comment
+Team Evil Fish Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 this is a cache that we set up we called it Minus 30 as it is at 30 feet below the surface http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...a1-6f683bc563ab Quote Link to comment
