Treasure hunting in Lake Winnipesaukee

All the way to the bottom of the deepest hole 213'... What's down there and was there any light? 12 feet of silt and no light at all. The light only penetrates to about 130 feet in the lake. The Mt. Washington could have been right next to us and we would have never seen it.

Your next question is, why??? We were training to dive the shipwreck André Dora, doing a mixed gas dive with decompression stops. It was all for nothing as our dive was canceled just before we entered water as two divers on another boat died just before us. After hearing the news and watching the recovery we decided there nothing down there we needed to see.

PS: Don’t even start with the chart says the deepest point is 187’… it’s wrong…
