A group of friends and I are gonna sink some christmas trees at the local lake and make a new attraction.(Tyler state park) We're hoping to get about 60 trees or so. Has anybody here ever done this?? My question is how many trees per cinder block does it take to sink them??
Anybody else gonna sink some Christmas trees??

You're gonna put more trash in the lake? to each their own, I guess!

We decorated our Christmas Tree during our Scuba Club Christmas Tree dive. We'll take it out come the spring.
Maybe ya'll have too much trash at the bottom of your lakes, but TSP lake is 30 acres of flat bottom. The one and only brush pile is swarming with life, but the rest of the lake is barren. We think it'll do the lake some good to add another little "log jam".

this is in a park? What will the rangers/police/etc say when they see you carting trees to the shoreline? I would guess that the DEP people here in CT would frown upon such a thing...
or.... are you going to sneak 'em in at night?

We certainly did!! It is part of our underwater park. We have a wrecked barge, floating flamingo park ( attached to an old tree ), a groomed weedbed, beer bottle alley, 8 shopping carts, a place were Bob the bass hangs out and we feed him crayfish etc etc.
I think other Scuba Clubs should do the same.
As for events we have an underwater pumpkin carving contest at Halloween, The Christmas Tree dive, New Year's Dive ( the longer you stay in the better the prize), Valentines Day Dive place floating hearts on the wrecked barge, not to mention the underwater Easter Egg hunt.
Gotta have some fun right?
Cheers
BTW, I'll love your name. Taz has Poseidon Reg's and BC!
