| The boat was parked in about 30 feet of water in front of "Water's Edge". |
| We followed that anchor line to the bottom. The base of the lake here is soft and cold. As we headed west the water warmed and the bottom became more interesting. |
| Mrs Nemo dove with me and was in charge of the dive flag, |
| She did not pull it under once! |
| After about 50 meters, the bottom turned to sand peppered with rocks. |
| Mrs Nemo seemed to be happier with the rising water temperature than the boulder field. |
| Some of the larger rocks were covered in a fine green slime. |
| Old fish beds were found in the sand. This may be a good spot to fish in the spring. |
| The sand also held other items... |
| Pepsi - the litter choice for a new generation! |
| Clam! (see first rule of lake sand on dive #4) |
| Closer to shore we found some cribs. |
| There were few bait fish near it. |
| Inside there was a nice size smallmouth bass. |
| We surfaced near the shore about 250 meters from where we started. There was nobody in the boat to get us so we had to get the boat. |
| Swimming back to the boat turned out to be the worst thing about the dive. Return to the Dive Page Return to knottlane |
