There are a number of things to do and look at in lakes. Beaver lake Ak. has a couple of sights for examples. The first is a cove and at about 60 ft. there are a couple of planes, a helicopter, and boats for divers to enjoy. The depth is such that all o/w divers can check it out. While it isn`t the Big Oriskani, it is kind of neat. At Starkies island, the back side is a deep rock wall that drops down into the trees from when the lake was flooded. There is very little current and the viz. is about 60-80 ft.Be on the lookout for the very large bass and striper that populate this area. While it is cold a 5mm with hood and gloves is usually plenty to keep most from getting cold. The silt usually settles on the tree limbs and is easily knocked off with one good punch to the tree trunk. When you look up the silt has an apperance of a late Dec. snow fall. It really is quite peaceful. Once back on the shore fire up the grill, pop open a cold beer,start telling lies about how big the bass really were and start planning the next days dives. The bottom line is that it is a great weekend getaway with friends or a great way to make new friends and enjoy what we all love.... Diving!
