anything interesting @ Lanier

[ccooper]

Anybody know where any structures, foundations or sunk boats are at lanier. I dive there often (its only 30 minutes away) but get pretty bored not seeing anything. I have a map that shows foundations and submerged bridges but I have not found any. There was rumor of a 60' houseboat sunk close to red marker #2 around the dam area but I could not find it after diving 4 times around that point. I heard that the corps of engineers may have had it removed. I also dove for the race track up around Clarks Bridge but aborted the dive rather quickly considering I could not see my computer 6" in front of my mask. The vis is worse the farther up the lake you go I guess due to the river stirring up all the silt. Thanks for any info and btw I may do a quick dive to lanier this weekend if anyone wants to come.

We went to redneck reef last week, and there was some cool lawn art in the water. Check out the post I have up on the board, It gives directions and a report of the dive.

Is the houseboat still at Youngblood's Cove? I dived it 20 years ago, but I don't remember the compass heading to find it.

I don't know. Where is Youngblood's Cove. I looked for it briefly on the map but could not find. Give me a general area of Lanier where it's at and I'll ask around. What size boat, what depth?

Hell, I have no idea, but there was a small shop where Grady Youngblood filled tanks and sold a few items. I was there once in 1985 and I didn't drive. Maybe you can find Grady in the phone book?
