Scuba diving / Megalodon Shark Teeth / Cooper River

JoyfulLee and I went diving for Megalodons this past dive season with Back Water Diversions. We traversed the beautiful back waters of Charleston SC. Our very experienced river guide, Phil Myers, took us down the Cooper River and then into a tributary called the French Quarter. We dove in an area affectionately called the kiddy pool because of its shallow depth (20ft), warm sandy bottom, low boat traffic, and low current. Joy and I used scuba tanks and some of the others used a Hookah. The Hookah is a rig that pumps surface air down to a diver. The guys using the Hookah also had a tank on their back and were doing 2-1/2 hour dives.

Click on "French Quarter"

I found the tooth on the right at this site (summer 2009)

There are lots of good dive operations on the Cooper River. Here are links to a few.

I also enjoy finding fossilized shells. Any fossil shell photos or references to dive sites or land sites would be interesting.
