Lake Jocassee update

[TonyW388]

Jocassee was only 10 feet bellow full pool this past Sunday. Temps were still a little cool, but not enough to keep away the Memorial Day weekend divers.
I hope the weather will be nice this weekend. I will be finishing the last of my deep, night and navigational certification dives, then only a few more until my official advanced cert.

Thanks for the update. Good luck on you advanced cert.

I made several dives from the diver's ramp on Sunday, May 31. The lake was down only about 5 feet from full-pond. The depth at the end of the diver's ramp was 21 feet, the first platform was 28 feet and the second platform was 39 feet.

According to my dive computer the surface temperature of the water was in the mid-70's, but it felt several degrees cooler than that. At my maximum depth of 52 feet, the minimum temperature I encountered was 65 degrees. Viz was only 8 - 10 feet.

How deep are the trees to the left of the diver's ramp (line throough the trees) with the current pool?
