Ha! Says who? You? Any crap that you dump in the ocean is garbage. Period. Justify it all you want, it doesn't change anything. It's still garbage. leave your garbage out of the ocean.

There are clear guidelines on placements and disruptions. You probably pass several caches on a daily basis and don't even know they are there. Geocaching creates more clean environment than it does pollution. Many parks and other public places are cleaned on a regular basis by geocachers.
Basically you are flaming people who more than likely take out more trash than you do.
I think the idea of geocaching underwater is absurd. Most are going to leave plastic containers. Maybe not much of an issue in a lake but in the ocean, mother nature has a way of moving things even when you think they're well secured. When that happens, you've just contributed to the massive quantities of plastic already in the ocean. Is diving so boring that you need to play a game while doing it? Just go get an underwater metal detector instead. Or search for waste/garbage and do some clean up.

Oh, okay, let me dump a pile of garbage in your front yard. It won't present a danger to you or your family. I'll call it "geocaching" and everything will be fine.
