RJB Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Wow!!! Dang nice teeth! Im kinda a fraidy cat when it comes to water, but finding teeth like that would be purty neato. Can I ask how much you spend on equipment to be able to dive for these fossils? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 rjb i've been diving for 14 years now and have aquired my gear over time as well as upgrading it. nowadays you could exspect to drop $500 and up on a set of gear and thats probly gonna be some used gear. The guy i took with me just rents his gear from a local dive shop for $39 a day not bad if you don't dive alot. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
