I Enjoyed SCUBA Diving For Many Years In My Youth,

it seemed like an extension of my work, seeing fish and corals in their natural surroundings, yes that is me above proving that I did have hair! but apart from the natural beauty of what I was looking at and a few bits of porcelain I never found anything of value, unlike some divers now in the Baltic Sea, they have have discovered what is thought to be the world's oldest drinkable champagne, diving instructor Christian Ekstrom said the bottles are believed to be from the 1780s and likely were part of a cargo destined for Russia, the nationality of the sunken ship has not yet been determined, "We brought up the bottle to be able to establish how old the wreck was," he told The Associated Press, "We didn't know it would be champagne,we thought it was wine or something." Ekstrom said the divers were overjoyed when they popped the cork on their boat after hauling the bubbly from a depth of 200 feet (60 meters), the divers discovered the shipwreck Tuesday near the Aland Islands, between Sweden and Finland. About 30 bottles are believed to be aboard the sunken vessel, Ekstrom said he is confident of the champagne's age and authenticity, but samples have been sent to laboratories in France for testing, "We're 98 percent sure already because of the bottle (we found)," he said, Swedish wine expert Carl-Jan Granqvist said each bottle could fetch euro50,000 ($68,000) if the corks are intact and the sparkling drink is genuine and drinkable, how great is that combining two hobbies into one and it could be a nice little earner!
