Geocache Description:

Certified scuba divers need only apply. Sorry!

A web cam with a difference, it's a WET web cam! And, it could be the very first UNDERWATER Web Cam cache ever!

This fixed webcam is on the former HMAS Perth which was scuttled as an artificial reef at Albany in Western Australia. Every year it attracts thousands of scuba divers from all over the world.

Co-ords are approximate as most people in Albany know where the wreck is. For more information on visiting this wreck, check this page out.

Your mission, to log this properly, is to get your pic taken with the camera which is mounted in the superstructure via this webcam here. I suggest you ask before you go down, exactly where it is.

BUT, you must have the geocaching logo with you and it must be captured in the picture that you submit, so you may want to get close to the cam so we can see you have the logo. Each image also includes the date and time, this must match your log entry. No logo, no valid log.

There is even a "SNAP IMAGE" button to help you take the image. Please, take note of this, you MUST use this button to save your image, no blury pics of the screen. Pressing the SNAP IMAGE button opens a new window with a copy of the onscreen view, straight away right click over this image and then select Save Picture As to save a copy to your hard drive.

Even though I have given it a 3/5 rating, this of course should be an easy one for any certified diver.

Enjoy your dive!

OH Mega bonus points to those who trash their GPSr and pose with that as well!
