Funny you should ask...

Actually, Senter Cove Guy and I live quite close to each other at the Lake, and dive together fairly often...when crappy weather and lack of air don't conspire against us...

As far as depth, I've only gone as deep as 120', but not in Winnipesaukee. As I mentioned above, most of the good diving in Winni is much shallower than that. My max to date in the Lake is probably '70 or so.

As for Winnipesaukee, it's FAR from boring. Lots of stuff to see. It's 70 square miles of puddle carved out by a glacier -- so the geologic formations alone are worth the price of admission. And the junk...don't get me started on the junk...and I'm but a newbie in this department. Page a forum member knows as Winnipesaukee Divers...he's a bona fide junkmeister general and a seriously seasoned diver. He's found all sorts of glorious refuse.

I'm just in it for the fun and to see another side of the Lake I've loved all my life. If I find some treasures and see some critters along the way, bonus. If you're interested in hitting some of the cooler spots in the Lake, jump on one of the charters with Dive Winnipesaukee out of Wolfeboro. There aren't too many dive shops on the planet with a boat parked right out back! Wonderful folks who are more than glad to show you the popular sites around the Lake.

Funny, at least two or three times a year, I have people approach me on the street in Wolfeboro, as I'm taking a cylinder to the shop, who ask me, "You actually dive in this lake? What on earth is there to see in there???" Kills me every time.
