Is that a man made dam? I've always wanted to dive a dam with submerged buildings. From the ones i've researched, most have been zero to nill vis.
So much rust, so little time...
Vote number however-many for the Fujikawa at Truk (or the Nippo Maru, or Rio De Janeiro, or ,or...)
Am I allowed to nominate pretty much everything at Coron, in the Philippines, especially the Akitsushima and the Irako Maru?
Mind you, there's a whole bunch of deep wrecks here in the Solomons, including the USS Aaron Ward and the USS Atlanta, that I haven't got around to yet...

Yes, a man made dam. Other great dive sites at Lake Jocassee include a cemetary and church foundation usually around 150ft ( now 120ft since we've had very little rain ), a Chinese junk at 50ft sitting next to a ledge/wall which drops to around 300 to 350 ft, and lots of forests very much intact. Vis usually 30ft + below the thermocline which is around 70ft this time of year. Proximity to the dam itself has been restircted since 9/11. Would hate to be nearby anyway as the pumping schedule is sporatic.
1. The Donator, France, 48m - if only for the sealife
2. The Rondo, Sound of Mull, Scotland from 50m upto the surface
3. The Hispania, Sound of Mull, Scotland, 26m - if only for the exceptional vis and life last time I dived it.
4. SMS Karlsruhe, Scapa Flow, Scotland, 25m - all the Scapa wrecks are excellent, but this one is on its side rather than upside down, and usually with good vis, and reasonable luminosity compared to the deeper wrecks, and a plethora of life.

I was lucky enough to have dove it when it was still on it's side. I would love to dive it again now that it has been uprighted.
