Well, I know in South Carolina you MUST obtain a Hobby Divers License to legally dive, or pick up anything of value below the water line of any body of water that is influenced by the tide. For example, if I went into a canal or creek that rises and falls with the tide for the sole purpose of looking for fossils, have to get a Hobby Divers License whether I am diving or not.
The license is not that much, I think less then $20 for two years. In my eyes that is a small price to pay to be able to dive for sharks teeth. Granted, I would rather not have to pay anything but at least it is not like $100.
