Friday and Saturday at Tenkiller was excellent. I went to DX and Crappie Point. I headed out past the scuba park boundries and towards the old river channel and at 65 feet "Bingo" there was a cool wall that drops off straight towards the bottom of the lake. It was darker down there then at the surface but but you could still see without your light. My UK C8 did come in handy though.
I would have enjoyed going down past 75 to the river bottom at 134 feet but I figured I was already deep enough to look around. It was really cool and there are not to many trees in the way just some way crazy overhead envirnments so I just plugged along for awhile and then came back up passed the Scuba Jesus Skeleton and kicked around the bus, plane and boat at the Aquatic Park. I basically did that trip twice Friday. Saturday I did Crappie Point and went to about 65 feet and headed South. Thats a crazy area and a place a person could get into a lot of trouble with navigation. The overhangs there are way cool and cave like. There I was without my cave real.... Oh well , maybe next time. I'm gong to bring along a wreck/cave buddy or 2 and find the bottom and see what the story is all about. Vis. was no worse then 6 at anytime during all of my dives and at times extended to at least 15 feet. The surface temp was quite nice and in the 80's. the first thermo. was around 30 I guess and it went to the low 70's and the vis got better. The second thermo was at 45 feet the temp. dropped into the 60's and after that it just got colder and clearer the farther down I went.
At 75 feet it was 54 degrees. I wore just the bottom 1/2 of my 7 mm farmer john the first dive but after that I wore the top part as well and enjoyed very comfortable dives. I picked up a topo map of the lake and already have some cool dives planned out for the next visit.
I recomend Lake Tenkiller and would gladly go up there again.
