All,
If you have not heard of it, or have ever considered going to Lake Jocassee for a dive, I would highly reccomend it. We spent Saturday there and had a great trip. We went out with Off The Wall Charters and even though it rained the entire day, Bill had inclosed the boat and even installed heaters! Bill did a great Job accomidatating the needs of our diverse group. We had three Divers on Rebreathers, 1 open circuit Trimix diver, and 2 recreational divers.
The first dive was on the "Junk Wall" the 4 technical divers were diving to 200+ while, the rest of us took advantage of the Chineese sailboat at 40 feet, and the wall to get some time at 130 feet.
After the tech guys did there 2 hour SI we headed over to the graveyard for our second dive. This dive alone would have been worth making the trip. Normally the Graveyard is at 145 feet but due to the drought last year the graveyard was currently at 115 feet. The Graveyard, is just that, a graveyard that was present in the river valley prior to Duke Power Flooding the valley. Most of the bodies were removed however some were left behind. There were several headstones and made for a very unique dive.
I would highly recomend OffthewallDiving to anyone who would like to see what Jocassee has to offer.
Safe Diving,
