Well, it has now been several weeks and many dives later. No camera and I only managed to relocate the “markers” once. Lake Lanier is not a fun place to search for something. Of course if I wait long enough the water levels will down to the point I can walk out and find it.
The highest level I recall in Lake Lanier was about 2-3 feet over the top of the large rocks in Mask Cove, now these rocks are high and dry. Used to be we had a sand bed to the depth where we could float, now the foot deep mud (or deeper) starts about 2 feet from the waters edge. The Corp of Engineers is going to have to do something. One nice thing, the low level has really cut down on the recreational boaters (or maybe that is due to the football season starting.)
I am going to keep hopes up until November, if I don’t find the rig by then I will replace at least the camera in time for my business trip to Hong Kong and Singapore, of course the camera is the cheapest part of the setup as my fellow underwater photography enthusiasts can attest. I may go with the Canon 30D if I can find one at a reasonable price. It can use the lenses I currently have and since I need to buy a new housing, might as well opt for a step up.
Haven’t done much else exciting other than one more sharks tooth dive down in Florida. Got about 50 teeth but I was more interested in trying to get a shot (with my old ReefMaster setup) of a Flying Gunard, I got one but it isn’t as nice as it could have been.
Well, that’s about all for now, safe diving!
