Also, I mean compressor diving with a blue nemo and an excalibur 2

When the water is lowered in the winter I have seen people metal detecting the beaches of the islands on Lake Murray.

​@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving Yeah someone has that beach clean. I did manage to find an old junker ring. I had like 6 targets in 3 hours.

​@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving I didn't realize they lowered the reservoirs. I went to lake lure after and same thing except lake lure beach was the nastiest paid beach I've ever been to. Water clarity about 2 inches.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Definitely! Was an amazing dive!

Many thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Not where the house was located. It was off the old river road.

I'll have to investigate about the farm as I'm not familiar with it. The Stone House was on a hill about 60-70 feet above the river that flowed thru now (Saluda river). It was not prone to flooding.

This is a 1/4 mile due west of the Towers at the dam. It sits on a small old hill 125' down.

Thanks!

That lake can get creepy and spooly!

Thanks!

No, there are no flooded towns under this lake. This is next to the dam. The items placed here were by divers so we could enjoy looking at stuff underwater.

I thought this was lake Murray? You’re saying no towns were flooded in underneath it? There are…

If they did drain the Lake back to just the Saluda river it would answer so many questions I have!

Thank you for sharing. Your Grandmother Debbie was a good friend and we miss her very much. Bill will probably do another dive on the Lodge in Debbie's memory. The Lodge is so deep that only a select few have the proper training to dive it. Bill pretty much has say in who dives it and he also keeps the location secret. I'm sure everyone who does dive it understands how special it is to your Family.

Your Grandmother was so kind. We all miss her so much. I’m sorry she passed but her spirit is always alive and felt at Jocassee. I’m sure you know about her bench at Devils Fork❤

The Families were given the option to have them moved. It was the 1920's, a different time and way of thinking. Most Families opted to leave their loved ones in their final resting place. In some cases they put a concrete slab over the grave to prevent washout of the grave. Other graves had no living next of kin and they were left as is. There is actually a book made from the compiled records of the Lake builders listing all the graves and their locations and if they were moved or left and the reason if left. Very interesting history!

@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving Thank you

I hope we can find em! We could feed the whole neighborhood on a big boy like that! :)

I have not found any old vehicles. I imagine if you get further up into the Lake , as in the Saluda River, at some of the more rural boat launch ramps you might find some dumped vehicles submerged in the water. I just don't make it up that far.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

60 deg and its 74 deg near the surface.

In 1929 they flooded this area to make Lake Murray.

You never know!! It did cover up a few Moonshine stills in the backwoods!

@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving stills more like a secret society was hid but things can't hide 4 ever

It's on slope, bow starts in about 22' and the stern is in about 30'.

We do dive a lot. Come visit us at Scuba Johns Dive Shop in Lexington (Columbia) , SC . Welcome to South Carolina!

@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving I will. An looking forward to it

It's completely fake. It's a small halloween decoration skeleton that was sunk by divers. It sits on a small bench and placed along a scuba "trail" which is a trail of things to see on the bottom as you Scuba Dive. I did find a real gun once that I reported to Police and they had one of their divers recover it and take it as evidence.

Dude you put in the boat at my neighborhood boat ramp do you live here

varied in the shots, but I'd say average was around 50'ish and maybe deepest was 100'.

@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving thanks. Im good down and about 60 to 70 ft but I've had panic attacks on land, and it's not fun having one underwater. Luckily I have a lot of self control but still. I need to find a shallower places to dive under 70ft around here. I'm off Highway 11. I ran a scuba diving Park and camping park on Lake Travis for the last 7 years. I miss living on the lake and being able to just go down daily and blow bubbles laying on a platform next to my favorite 5 ft catfish, laying next to me. We fed the perch there so many hot dogs and vienna sausages that we started calling them perchana. Lol. had to quit feeding them for a while because they were drawing blood on our ears. Enjoyed your video. Thanks. Have you ever done the hydraulic plant up there, is it on lake toxaway? Any suggestions for a little bit shallower dive are welcomed. I rarely have a panic attack anymore but I'm just super careful. Dive safe. Man I miss doing all those air fills, and the camaraderie of the divers daily. Divers are just great people in general.

We've wanted to do this but there is a couple factors to consider. The bottom is a thick layer of silt. Once you start digging your visibility will quickly goto zero. So you would likely only get a short time to search before having to leave the area. The other issue is the house sits on top of a hill. All sides slope down to beyond recreational limits. So you would have to make it a tech/decompression dive if you explored away from the house. But we will give it a try and post a video!

@@SouthCarolinaScubaDiving So this building is on top of a hill? Wow, how much higher is it compared to the drop down ?

@@bzneeez It is on top of a hill. the hill rises to 125' deep which is the base of the stone house. It's a 12 foot by 12 foot building that is technically 2 stories. The attic made up the 2nd story. The highest point of the house is around 115' deep, so it rises about 10' in height. The roof, windows, doors, and anything inside was removed before the lake was flooded in 1929.
