196. Bill Decker takes us Blackwater Scuba Diving to search for ancient artifacts. And yes, we do make it fun and funny.

<p>Bill Becker scuba dives for ancient and historical artifacts in Blackwater Rivers. He has found amazing bones dating back 30 million years. Bill goes into fascinating detail on the things he has found and the art and science of scuba diving. Even if you have never dove, this podcast will amaze you in what has been found and what has yet to be found.</p> <p>Bill is also a part of the Amelia Research &amp; Recovery organization. They believe strongly in the recovery and preservation of historical data while protecting the environment. They also believe that commercial salvage of historical shipwrecks can be accomplished with strict adherence to established archaeological guidelines and thorough reporting procedures. The salvage of these wrecks by private enterprise involves the greatest number of people in a fabulous adventure that most people secretly dream about, but few actually experience.</p> <p>For more info - ameliaresearch.com</p> <p>In the picture below Bill is holding a Megalodon tooth that is encrusted with barnacles at dating least 3.7 million years, could even be up to 35 million years old.</p>
