    OW Dive# 6: SWEPCO Lake - March 18, 2012

    yeah, I found it at the end of the summer...it's a big house boat... I'm pretty sure it was the same line we were following. the line is the one that was literally right off the boat ramp but it was at 55-60' and flipping freezing and really dark... funny... last time we tried to follow it all...

    Off the wall & strange!!

    Ok well I have not done this but the thought keeps crossing my mind. At my folks house in St. Louis there is an abondoned farm in the woods behind them with a completely intact well full of water... no idea how deep it is but I've been sorely tempted to dive the well to see what's at the bottom...

    Lake Norfork Report...

    Dove lake Norfork this past weekend. As usual Dan and Denise at Jordan marina were great. The lake is up 17 ft right now so the parking lot is under water making parking a little complicated but nothing that could not be overcome. Viz isn't great and from the surface to about 30 ft it's...

    How was Beaver Lake?

    Yep... I had the same thing happen I was in a 3mm and at 45 ft I was getting pretty cold and just about at that time I ran into two other divers coming back the other way and so I moved above the line to let them pass but the viz was such that I couldn't find the line again... needless to say i...

    How was Beaver Lake?

    I went to Beaver on the 4th and viz was horrible... like less than 5 ft... for sure not 10-12 a the bluffs anyway. It seems like everyone came down for the weekend to dive and by Monday it was really silted up.

    Saturday was a lot of fun viz not withstanding... Sorry I flaked on Sunday... I really needed to spend time with the family!!! Did you guys try out Indian Creek? Was the viz any better there? Hope the water clears up soon.

    Beaver Lake at its best

    That's the platform I was telling you about. The boat launch is on the north side of the dam and there is a stand of trees in the water. Apparently the platform is just off the trees and there are lines run from the platform to the sunken boats. I think maybe we should check this out this...

    Beaver Lake at its best

    Hey Basscat did you happen to hear where the mud line was? Where is the Platform and boats.... I vaguely remember someone telling me that if you go to one of the trees in that stand just north of the dam one of them has a plastic marker and if you swim at azimuth of ?? from the marker you'll...
