Lake Lanier
Laker Lanier in the summer is really busy boat traffic so the water is not the clearest in the world. In the Late summer, fall, winter and Early spring the water at the surface has viz about 10 to15 then opens out to 20 to30 after 40 ft. The temp goes from 72 to 68 in the summer to as low as 44 at the surface during the winter. That was taken on a day where it was like 25 air temp with a cold wind and rain, it was actually freezing a crust on the deck of my kayak that morning. At depth I haven't the chance to check that yet but when you hit the thrermo, there is a big temp difference, can be pretty shocking at times. The lagoons range from 30 to 50ft depending which one I paddle to. I know this is easy depths for most people on this forum but I'm a beginner with no dive buddy and the only training knowledge I have is off the net. So this is good depth range for me at this time. There many nice place that I can go with deeper depths but I will wait untill I'm ready for that deep dark depths in the lake.
Greg the water level isn't a real big problem unless your diving days are regular dives past 110 or 120 you won't have a problem.
Greg please tell what that Hashing thing is? If it's what I think it is don't be surprised if you come finning up to me on the lake and you see the business end of my speargun point at you because I do that kinda stuff, sorry.
I know that sounds harsh everyone but I have strong feeling about such things as dope smoking.
