Underwater Tripod?

[John Brady]

There are no CROCKS in the Everglades. Just Gators and Cottonmouths.

Actually I have see a couple of crocodiles in the everglades. the last one I saw was in the Collier Seminole State Park. He was in brackish water. So even though you won't find them in the fresh water grassy areas they are still in the region. For the record they scare me way more then the gators.

I think I read somewhere that the Everglades is the only place on earth where crocks and gators co-exist.

This is very good info about crocks in Florida:

Okay, so I was wrong. At least out of date -- was always told that there were Crocks only in the Keys, not in the Glades. Sorry.
Oh yeah, I guess there are Anacondas, etc, there too, since Andrew.
Oh Jesus, I think I'll just stay home. :-)

a) As mentioned before almost any tripod can be used in water as long as you can take it apart and rinse/dry it afterwards ok. I've used a Manfrotto/Bogen 055 in Antarctica in 2001/2002 underwater (even upside down under sea-ice)..... It is still my main general tripod.
b) No need to be so scared of alligators (even crocs ain't crocs either), just have respect, read up on some facts/how to conduct yourself in their habitats and on the psychological front maybe avoid watching JAWS, or Rogue, or Lake Placid the night before ....
