Anyone diving on the Cooper the week of 1-5 Sept? I will be up that way and would love to get in on a charter to find some Megs.

Anyone interested in getting something going?

Nope, I'm going to start making some calls tomorrow. I think the challenge for me will be to find someone who is willing/able to do a non-weekend trip. I will be arriving on Sunday and leaving the next Saturday.

Definitely black water diving, but that is where the big teeth are at! I am waiting for an answer for you Cpt! I will call the shop tomorrow if I do not get an email!

BLACK! As in no light at all! This is River water. Basically this kind of diving is crawling along the bottom feeling for the artifacts in the muck/sand/gravel on the bottom. You need a good light, be able to work in a current, have head protection, and definitely have good gloves!

Here ya go Grumby. I was told that this was a good outfit to dive with. There are links to other charters there too.

Hey Chica (L4S),
Thanks for the info. I am booked w/ Capt Tom on the 31st. I am calling your contacts tomorrow to see if I can't set up a second trip during the week I am there. I will see you at Vortoberfest, hopefully with a few nice megs and some other neat fossils.
