I had previously posted finding a straight sided brown Coke bottle, and have just found another. This one was slightly different from the first. I don't have a digital camera yet (it's on the way), but have found links to photos that are identical to what I have found. The first bottle had...

Damned sweet find! You don't have to divulge exact location or wreck name (I know I wouldn't:eyebrow: ), but whereabouts did you find it? What technique did you use to clean it up?

OK Dixie Divers. It's that time a year again for the year in review. Things that went well, things that didn't go well, new gear, new people met. After the New Year well start a new thread on 2007 Goals. These threads were pretty popular last year, I hope it goes as well this time around...

Matt, I have the same exact car. Most of the aftermarket doesnt' fit well, but the VW dealer sells a Gorilla Matt perfectly cut for the back secstion of the Jetta Wagon. It's waterproof, got a high lip, could probably hold 5 gallons of water before spilling over, and is thinly carpeted on...

Something I will add to the esteemed panel of experts that have already weighed in on this. If you start getting very cold and shivering, CALL THE DIVE!!!. Once you get past a tipping point of hypothermia, you will make poor decisions, and will lose major and minor muscle control to deal with...

Now BugMan doesn't have any excuses not to come to Chattanooga this summer and do some bottle recovery in the river.;)

Lucky dude. Proves that sharks attack as mistaken identity. If they liked the taste of neoprene and fiberglass, that dude would be a gonner.

I lost my EMT shears, and have bougth a pair of Martha Stewart Stainless Steel Kitchen Shears for 3 dollars at Kmart. Haven't tried them on fishing line yet, but I also carry a small knife and a line cutter as backup. I can't imagine Martha Stewart not being able to cut herself out of any...

Bug Man! I have the SAME EXACT CAR!!! Only difference is mine is the the diesel and I've named it the Silver Smoker for the faint puff of blue I get when I toast the wheels off a smug Prius driver. It is the ultimate dive vehicle. Plenty of room for all the gear, great mileage, handles...

Why, what have you found that needs conserving :eyebrow:

You're lucky. I think I'm just getting a chunk of coal this Christmas. Or a sweater.

Welcome to the best scuba site on the net! Lot's of great people to learn from and dive with on this board. Don't be afraid to ask questions. There also a forum for military divers under Non-Geographic clubs.

Note that it's only good to 30 feet. Never tried one though.

Reading all this has me totally salivating. I've read steaming is superior to boiling. Grilled is great, but for the purest lobster flavor, I like steamed. Lightly dip pieces in in butter and eat

Any attempts to dissolve away the calcium in the coral (i.e. lime away, muriatic acid, etc) will also dissolve the marble. Both are calcium carbonate, so you've got a tricky situation. You probably want to remove as much encrustation as possible with gentle mechanical scraping, but there...

Agreed, I just check them as they are not real expensive but are fairly heavy. I hate having a heavy carry on.

Excellent bottle and in excellent shape. I may have to take a trip up there next year. That seems to be a sweet location for bottles. Have you found out much about it's history?

I've always checked the bulky cheaper stuff (fins, wetsuit) and things that are too heavy or can't be carried (lights, batteries, knives, shears) etc. and checked in the "must haves" and expensive items (computer, BC, reg, mask). However, I just purchased a BP/Wing to replace my vest style...

Excellent score today! I was a little tentative about diving in the Tennessee today, as the current is raging due to the fall lake drawdown. They are spilling 5 spillways plus running all generators. But the weather is awesome, so I suited up and dropped in. Within 3 minutes I hit paydirt, a...
