Las Vegas area dive info needed

[shark.byte.usa]

theres a b-29 in lake mead. the vis in mead is supposed to good, 40 ft or so. theres lots of wrecks and other stuff to check out.

I thought the B-29 was still off-limits. Has that changed lately? I think that would be a very interesting dive.

All info I see on the B-29 is that it's in like 300ft, when they found it at least, I know the lake level fluctuates but didn't think it was diveable at least for the recreational folks.

it sits in about 150.

Well past my recreational limits. Oh well, maybe the lake level will rise and I can dive the once under-water town.

The B-29 was at 240 when they found it and the lake was full. At the rate it's going it will be within recreational limits within a year! It is still off limits. They renewed the restrictions this year. I think the restriction expires in Feb 06, but it will probably be renewed again. Unless this drought ends soon, we can all just hike to it in a few years.
