I'm only a normoxic weenie :sigh_2:

But if you wanted to go to Marianna instead..................

Ha, ha...whatever! You're no weenie, normoxic, hypoxic or otherwise!

Zinc and I might be heading to FL this next July. Let me know if you'd like to join us. I have my truck and a trailer for hauling all the gear we need.

My cave instructor dived the Girls Camp there. Thats in around 300 feet of water.

Who was your instructor? Garrett? Tom? Jackie?

Jocasseegirl...what kind of shallow water diving is there? (130 and less)

Ken Paramore. Known as Kenny P on the boards

I don't think I've met him, but I've heard of him.

The lake is down about 23 feet right now, so the cemetery is currently at 115. There is also an area called the quarry, or "The Wall," where they blasted the mountain to get rockfill for the dam. There is a teak Chinese Junk there at 60' (currently at 36'), and lots of other stuff: a motorcycle, basketball hoop, marching flamingos, etc. There is also a shallow dive near the dam where, I hear, there are lots of fish. There is also a cove that is designated for divers only with other sites to see. In that cove, you can dive on into the forests that are still standing. They usually start at around 100' or so, but with the lake down so low, there is plenty of stuff to see at shallower depths. Bill at Off The Wall Charters is the man, if you want to dive Jocassee. There are other shops that run charters there, but I'm kinda partial to Bill :blinking:. He's the most knowledgable about the lake.

Are there any houses still left to see on the dive?

 

[Jocasseegirl]

not anything shallow. Camp Jocassee, I'm sure, still has the cabins (they were cinder block), but pretty much everything else was demolished before filling.

I don't get anything other than bubbles and music from that website. I've tried IE, Firefox and Safari.

How's the vis/temp in early June?

Click the banner at the top of the page. I think the dive flag says "Dive In" or something similar.

It's not intuitively obvious, but that gets you into the main website.
