How clear?the clearest water in the USA
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!How clear?

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.How clear?
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.
Not Yet, but we will be later this year.Are you guys tech friendly? Running charters out to the SS Tahoe?
We are going to be starting crawfish dives this summer! Let me know if you are interested.Welcome to scubaboard!
I love diving Tahoe.
In spring it can be pretty chilly with snow melt runoff, but in summer and late summer I can use a 5 mil.
I love getting crawdads then having a big crawdad boil Louisiana style.
One great thing is I don’t have to rinse my gear.
I like the North Shore at Speedboat Beach and I take my kayak out from there to the Calneva wall right at stateline.
It used to be easy to find an Airbnb to rent, now all the goddam yuppies from SF moved up there during Covid and ruined it.
Seasonal, 60-150 feet.How clear?
