Back from a day of diving. I think at best the visibility was about 6" to 12". This is the first time that I have dove and not been able to see the bottom; and I was sitting on the bottom at times. It was not a dive for beginers. (however I am a beginer). I swam right into the bottom once and still could not see it. The deepest we went was 24'.

Often wondered what the vis in Oconee.
I grew up in Putnam County and used to frequent the Oconee river to "tube" the shoals and go "telephoning" and canoeing.
Unless they were torn down when the basin was being cleared for the lake, there should be the remnants (walls) of an old factory still standing at the channel in the Long Shoals area on the Green County side of the river.
Would make an interesting dive site if the vis were sufficient.
