Geocache Description:

The most common Scuba cylinder is the Aluminum 80 cubic foot model. For small-framed divers, the Aluminum 63 cubic foot cylinder may work best.


I grew up watching Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his team of divers explore the world's oceans from his research ship, the Calypso. I was completely enthralled by the thought of diving beneath the surface and exploring for myself.

In 1988, I got the chance to learn Scuba from a soft-spoken fellow who went on to write books about his own explorations of shipwrecks and sunken submarines off the coast of North Carolina. He also wrote a book about a West Virginia coal miner's son who built some rockets with his friends and won gold and silver medals at the National Science Fair.

These days, I'm likely to be found here taking others on a journey of discovery in the underwater world.

This cache is located on private property with permission of the property owner. Finding this one is pretty easy since I had to change the hide a bit. The original 63 cubic foot container is still there, but the cache is no longer inside. Aluminum is a rather soft metal and the threads didn't stand up to repeated unscrewing and rescrewing.

The cache used to be called 80 Cubic Feet, but some scoundrel stole the container...
