                                    I started this post in hopes of finding some more locals who are familiar with the Cooper River. I dive it solo simply cause I own a boat,live 5 min.s from river, and can go mostly when I want to.8 tanks are a plus!!! Any one out there wanna go? Check out some of the stuff I`ve found [ at ] my profile pics. I am currently waiting to hear back from SDAMP about a possible new shipwreck I,ve found.
