Soon to be new dive site!

I may have missed it, but what was the vis?

It was different in different locations but mostly about 5'. We haven't been working on the clarity just yet but will be starting the installation of the sparger(sp) system in the next few weeks.

By comparing the 10-28 and 12-16 picts of the sub it looks like the water has risen a couple of feet or so in that time span. What is the anticipated max depth of the area when full?

We are still expecting 10'-15' more feet to give a depth in the 65'-70'.

Shhhh! Don't tell the Lake Lanier Looney Birds over in Atlanta. They might come in the night and truck off a few hundred acre-feet.

(One of these days, I'll get to dive [or hike] Lake Lanier. I was over there last weekend for a class, but we dove the Dive Haven quarry.)

Any chance they're thinking about eventually setting up a nice wide-angle webcam? :biggrin:

I was told the other day that they are working on the new website and hopefully a webcam and maybe even a water temp. The Texas Dive Show is the last weekend in January so the hopes are to have the Lake website done by then.

Ok, so what's the deal with the C130 wreckage? It seems to be above the projected surface level in the pictures.

 

[MichaelBaranows]

The C-130 is going to be reassembled before it is placed in the lake. Most likely it will not be in the lake when the lake opens for business. Right now I really have no idea when it will be ready to dive. I am sure it will be a pretty big event to get the C-130 into the lake. I am going to try and get that on video.

I noticed that there are some new pictures posted today, and an announcement that the park will be open in March!

Can't wait!

New photos from last night are in the gallery.

Oh, and they open precisely two months from today!

I was invited to make that dive last night but I had better judgement and was warm in bed when they jumped in the water.
