diver-snorkler found in lake natomas

[Jim Ernst]

I dive there often when the flow is lower. It's a good place to take my daughter for easy dives. We also kayak Negro bar often and did on Saturday. The water was moving fast through there Saturday.

I have seen long-distance swimmers on the lake in wet suits, but they are usually in the lanes near the Nimbus Flats area.

Very sad.

This is what the Channel 3 site has about it:

Lake Natoma is a good place for diving on a low-flow day, but snorkeling is pointless.

Post info if anyone knows more.
