BillyBayou Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Got to spend another weekend diving the Cooper River in South Carolina with Alan Devier. If you dive the Cooper or want to dive the Cooper, Alan is the guy to go with. He is a class act. Found a bunch of good teeth and was an all around good time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a Great White tooth? Yes it's my helmet. I made it from a Dive Rite helmet. 6k lumen main canister light and two 1k lumen side lights. Cooper ranges from 15 to 45 feet where I dive. Water temps are going up. It was 58 Saturday and 59 on Sunday at the bottom. I found some great whites but the one I was holding up is a Magalodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Very cool finds. Do your face and neck get cold pretty quick? Seems like they’d almost go numb. I use to dive years, but gave it up because my husband didn’t want to learn and felt uncomfortable even trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dive three tanks a day for two days and only my pinky fingers got cold (previously frost bitten in Alaska). You should get your hubby into the sport.
