Underwater caches

Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:42 am

Hello all, I could use a recommendation or two here. Question

My family just started caching last spring and 4 out of the 5 of us love it, one of my kids do not. I am trying to find ways to pique my son's interest and he really likes the idea of doing an underwater cache. I have heard of one that isn't too far away: The Morley Shipwreck GC2BG09. I think we will probably try to do this one this summer but he is a little worried he won't be able to dive that far. I mean, he is 8 years old. Does anyone know of anymore underwater caches? I would especially be interested in them if they were in 10 feet of water or less. Thanks in advance!

The Broken Dam GCW9KE in Oconomowoc. Depending on the season it is about 12-15 feet under water though I would not recommend it for a child.

Interesting, thank you. But yea, I probably want one that is a little more kid-friendly. We might all go take a look at it anyway though.

Nifty Fifty (GC1187E)

Located in Lake Winnebgago. Possibly more then you care to try but it sure looks fascinating. Reading the logs alone are an adventure.

This one was doable via snorkel when I found it.
