THE TREASURES

Shark Teeth and River Relics

The Cooper River is threaded with fossilized fragments and human artifacts—shark teeth, fossils, arrowheads and vintage bottles turn up during these dives, turning each descent into a search for small revelations.

THE FORMAT

Three‑Tank Full‑Day Dives

This is a full‑day program built around three separate tank dives, giving divers multiple opportunities to comb different stretches of riverbed and surface between dives.

THE SCALE

Intimate, Small‑Group Runs

Trips run with a limited group size so participants work in a focused, small‑boat or small‑team setting—an ideal setup for methodical fossil hunting and shared discoveries.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

A Cooper River dive day is deliberate and hands‑on: briefings and surface intervals sandwich three separate tank dives, each a chance to scan the silt and substrate for teeth, bottle glass and other relics. Expect a long, steady day on the water focused on underwater exploration rather than sightseeing.
