Question Has anyone dove the Crescent Lake barge?

[Cthippo]

Last night at a party a mermaid told me about a wreck and I wanted to see if anyone here has dove on it...

What? That's literally what happened!

I have a friend who is a semi-pro mermaid and her and her pod go out to Lake Crescent on the Olympic Penninsula for events and fun swims. She told me there was a sunken vessel in about 20 feet of water out there they had swum around and I'm looking for more information. The Olympic National Park website lists it as being a wooden barge that ranged from 25-50 ffw right off the shore.

Has anyone on here been out there and can tell me anything about the site or the environment? Can I get away with a 7mm?

You can in the summer, and the water is blue and clear, but there isn't much to see besides trees, rocks, and the barge. Occasionally, you might catch a glimpse of a trout. If you want to dive it all year round, we usually wear our dry suits, but a 7mm should be fine in the summer since it isn't too deep.

Trees and rocks are good...

Thanks for the info and welcome to the board!

Just dove the site last weekend. Water temp was 68 degrees with the top of the barge at 26 feet. It is pointing downhill and larger than I was expecting. I used an 8/7/6 and was comfy.
