[@carlameier4489]

@@JTScott1988 yes! I am listening to you ,I was just making sure you knew that we weren’t just being morbid ppl. The podcast episode shines a light on the black history of the towns that now are in the lake and it’s actually what made me go and do a lot of research on the black history of this area. I agree completely this was a genocide and even now there is a large effort of holding black people back, as well as murder by police, and modern prison slavery. But in my opinion the podcast is a good thing as it shinning light on a topic that otherwise I would of never came across, such as the use of eminent domain as a means to take the land of mostly indigenous and black ppl with the sole purpose of white people making a profit from it.

Respect the Ancestors ❤❤❤❤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Aurorafinebreatth]

I was born in GA, I’ve swam in Lake Lanier many days . I’ve always been told to stay close to the edge cause sunken trees, and sharp drops just 10 yards from shore go 20 yards cause down currents that swimmers cant fight cause it is not easy to swim or float on fresh water. Scary shit . Im an excellent swimmer so I’ve never been scared. But I did swan away from the edges many times with friends but always found it scary how dark the water was. Just swimming 15 yards from shore would look as dark as swimming in the open ocean

[@Aurorafinebreatth]

There is also something people don’t talk about. Lake water is harder to swim than ocean and pool water. Ocean water has salt and pool water has choline in it so it increases the buoyancy coefficient. Lake water is pure and you can feel the difference right away. Lake water is considerably harder to swim in

​@ashton8106 that is 100% true. My dad used to be a recovery diver for the fire dept and he recovered many cadavers from this lake. He said in certain areas they would have to be extremely cautious because they would literally be diving down into underwater forests because the DNR would just top the trees off in high density pine forests as the water level rose during construction of the lake. He said sometimes they wouldn't be able to search certain areas of the lake because of this.

So many unanswered questions. Did you recover your first fin? Why didnt you put the other one back on? Where the hell did your dive buddy go?

[@coreytrevorscuba4133]

I did not recover the first fin. Spent about a min looking for it in the silt but as it became more and more stirred up and visibility degraded more and more I made the call to leave it. I put the other fin back on because it gave me some propulsion and the ability to control my pitch in the water. A big danger to drysuit diving is an uncontrolled ascent to the surface due to all the air going to your feet and expanding faster than you can dump it. If that started to happen and I had no fins it would be hard for me to invert to dump the air. He continued and eventually met me back on shore after deco. In zero visibility, it is often better to focus on your equipment and situation rather than worry about a buddy. We both are trained and had the equipment to be self reliant so it was not an issue.

[@OffroadTrucker740]

@coreytrevorscuba4133 I just tried on a dry suit for the first time and this particular suit had tight boots. An instructor made a comment that it was better than loosing a fin. Are dry suit boots supposed to fit like shoes where you leave a little space for toes, or do toes need to touch the ends of the boot? How come you lost your fins? They look like jet fins

[@coreytrevorscuba4133]

@@OffroadTrucker740 I'll preface this by saying I am not a Drysuit Instructor but do have a good amount of experience in one. IMO boots need to just fit comfortably like shoes.

About to dispel a lot of rumors about lake Lanier rq. Sorry to bust your bubble but it isn’t haunted. Yes, a town was flooded when the lake was built. This is not some uncommon thing. When nearly any reservoir is built, the land the it will occupy is flooded. Look at lake allatoona, the Hoover dam, or nearly any other man made reservoir in the world. Residents are made well aware of the flooding. It’s not like people just randomly drown from their town being flooded one day. Bodies in cemeteries are removed before hand and relocated. You can literally look at Maps of lakes and see old road beds, houses, submerged bridges and lots of other things clearly visible on them. The mass public knows nothing about reservoirs and it shows. And one last thing: NEARLY ALL of the deaths on the lake come from alcohol fueled endeavors. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

@@kay-collins a good percentage of those have been chalked up to being poor or tired swimmers. It's easy to misjudge distances and the water can get extremely choppy due to the high speeds and size of the boats. You have a lot of families coming up from Atlanta that are not familiar with swimming in a lake this size. People that are used to local or personal swimming pools who don't know the risks associated with Lake Lanier. There are drop-offs, cold currents, debris entangled with decades of fishing line. I'm not, nor am I claiming to be an expert on the hazards of swimming in the lake. I am speaking from 40 years of experience living nearby, however. The history is tragic and unfortunate, but no one can go back and change that. The likelihood that supernatural forces are drowning people or causing accidents... if this is what you want to believe, then believe it.

@@allenovaaa she said it wasn't the current...

[@coreytrevorscuba4133]

Almost all of it includes alcohol, or a boating accident. Sorry to ruin everyone's spooky fantasies but no crazy currents or ghost.

People who can't swim come to this lake and drown and drunks on boats causing accidents and drunk people walking off cliffs who cant swim it's not hunted I have lived by this lake all my life and I've been swimming and fishing never had a issue

Let me know how many tools you find down there. I've personally lost about 1000$ in random hand tools and power tools lmao

[@derrickcampbell6687]

Almost drowned in that lake but a Sprite saved me, iam part Indian and I think that's why. I peacefully sank to the bottom and was brought back to the top. And I didn't know the history about at the time

[@Datprettyaquarius]

I'm native American Indian, which they were part "trail of tears" or something like that, and I'm mixed with Indian on my granny side.

Is it true that the lake is haunted???

Yeah it's haunted i went today and something grabbed my leg

@@coldplay_0024 lies like this are what kills the area. Stop it man. It doesn't make you seem like you know something others don't. It makes you seem like a liar.

It is haunted, the idiot saying it isn't obviously isn't from there. It's fucking very haunted, there's a graveyard under that lake

[@jasonsturgill4018]

No it is not. The buildings were removed or burnt, and the few churches were relocated. I've been going in and on the lake all my life.
