How about Hold your nose and breath or use air tanks and goggles (in some
places).
Actually, sounds like a good idea - maybe we can add something to the SLAGA
site also - Glenn maybe you can add something to your Publish page stating

dont place caches in flood prone areas come to mind.

Really tho, some suggestions would be handy. I am sure that the
cachers around here will have more experience than the few folks that
work at groundspeak HQ.  Anyone that has a good idea, speak up! You
lots of expirence at placing caches down low near the water, what works?
