Chattahoochee river diving?

I often wondered that myself. The currents can be quite challenging and at least up here within a couple of miles of the dam it can go from placid to turbulent in a matter of minutes (I fly fish the Hooch so I have almost been caught a couple of times in high water/current as the dam lets down).

There's poop in the hooch!

But "too high" is of course subjective, there is always a chance of getting sick.

As long as you are upstream of Atlanta it usually isn't too bad.

From what I remember from living in Columbus a few years ago, no one would go near the water in the 'Hooch down there.. What part of it was listed in the TV show?
We have some historical folks around here in Mid Ga that dive the Ocmulgee for "artifacts." Serious zero viz diving.
