created this to make training at windy point private a bit easier. data was taken november 9th, 2010 and written out in elevation above mean-sea-level. top numbers (black over white) are the platform's surface, bottom numbers (white over black) are where the deepest support meets the contour of the lake. just subtract elevation from the current lake level http://wwwext.arlut.utexas.edu/omg/weather.html to get current depth! you can click the picture below to get a print quality pdf.

 
How is your map better than the map on Windy Point's website?? The Windy Point map gives the elevation of each platform and the many objects in the scuba park. In the link below to the Windy Point Map, you can insert the actual lake level, and it will give the depth of each platform and object in feet of water, not mean sea level. I have yet to see a computer or depth gauge that displays in mean sea level.

well, for one this gives an accurate depth for platform 2. its also simpler, small enough to be laminated, lists contour elevations of the platform anchors, and you don't have to keep re-checking the website each time the lake drops. its meant for an instructor/divemaster to carry down when leading OW students on tours.
