Haven't dove Tahoe in 30+ years but my guess would be 200ft+. And like Eric, I love them crawdads! And don't forget Donner Lake.... Not as great vis as Tahoe but north shore is easy access loaded with dads!

Tahoe is pretty dang clear for a lake, but gin clear it is not. Winter vis averages around 35-40 feet. I've seen nearly 100' vis in early fall, but it is exceptionally rare.
Yeah......the 200ft vis guess is an overstatement. It's just when I compare the Tahoe diving with places like Bonaire and Caymans that claim 100ft vis...... that Tahoe seemed a LOT clearer.

It was as clear as a swimming pool when i dived the rubicon wall in the fall, about 150ft vis
but it also is as boring as diving in a swimming pool unless if you like starring at wet rocks
