Although geocaching usually doesn’t require a high degree of fitness or special skills, a few caches out there might be labeled extreme geocaching. A cache might be perched midway down a cliff face, requiring climbing equipment to rappel down to reach it. And a handful of caches are underwater and can only be reached by scuba diving. (GPS doesn’t work underwater, so this would be the spot for a boat to anchor.) Obviously, these types of caches limit the number of finders but can be quite unique if you’re into challenging and technical outdoor sport.
