Hey adventures with purpose! This is my "backyard lake" it's good to see others from all over interested in this location. Also, I appreciate the work you do! Keep it up 🙏🏼
Interesting to see a lake trout at such great depths. We fish for them on the bottom in 100+ feet of water but I never thought they would down 1600 feet
Apparently this species does better in deep lakes, and can get absurdly large. There's some in a lake here in NZ, but it only gets to 17m deep, and apparently they're pretty small and sluggish there.
Excellent production quality for a small channel. The voice audio in particular was incredibly clean given it was recorded on the water. Very well shot and edited.
@delreydavid if that was the case the bottom would be littered with millions of years of dead fish etc. It's not in ice so the fish and bacteria there would eat any flesh
Crater Lake in Oregon is extremely clear. There are no floats or boats allowed except two that the park rangers use to do tours of the lake. It’s pretty beautiful if that’s the crater lake that was referred to?
@@sethsmietana7733 Sorry just saw that we are talking about Crater Lake....I thought it was Carters lake in north Georgia mountains...deep as hell with lots of submerged trees..sorry!
Awesome video. Amazing technology. Thank you very much for sharing. Always wanted to see the bottom of Lake Tahoe. I can’t believe how fast it got to the bottom. The video was incredible quality. Congrats.
@@darrelljacobjr2120 I watched a video earlier this year where they recovered a male body from the east coast. Apparently he was doing a video when his boat drifted away, supposedly causing him to drown. They claimed his body resting at the bottom of Lake Tahoe at about 1500 feet.
I'm lucky to be able to visit Lake Tahoe often and I have always wondered what it was like at the bottom.. Thank you for sharing!! Amazing to see all the life scurrying around!! ☺️
This is pretty awesome, thanks for doing this! Another interesting spot to take your ROV would be lake shasta where there is a whole town underwater from when it got dammed. Look up Kennett, CA
@@rachelreneer56 what is the truth about Clearlake? I'm always open to more discoveries and legends about places. I've only been to Clearlake twice(last time was for a funeral for Dan Cota)
That would be amazing! I know the Lake you're talking about. Lake Baikal has so many unique species that are only found just there and nowhere else. One is a freshwater sea lion, which is incredibly strange, considering how far the lake is from an ocean. I'd also like to see what Crater Lake in Oregon looks like ,with its outstandingly pristine water, and exceptional clarity and visibility. They both would be really something to see!
So great to be able to see that. I'm sure there are more interesting features in the lake but one always wonders what is at the deepest part of a body of water.
Otherwise, I think a time lapse game camera left there with some bait and a light would be interesting! Those tracks are fascinating. Great videos... Thank you. Smiling, George.
Did you ever find what Jacques Cousteau found down there? He said something of major significance was going on at the deepest depths of Tahoe that mankind is not ready for.
That's a myth. He never even went to Lake Tahoe. It plays off the rumors of dead bodies the mob sunk to the bottom in the early 20th century. That's true, but not widespread. Jacques Cousteau never actually dived into the lake.
The SS Tahoe is an amazing location. We have completed dives on the SS Tahoe in conjunction with the representative bodies from both CA and NV since it is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. We have collected some pretty awesome footage and we will work to get this up at some point in the future! So far we have found one airplane and a few different sunken boats. If you have locations of some interesting targets you know of that we should visit, please let us know! We are always on the lookout for interesting places!
I'm a local and honestly don't think there's much. That's why these people are doing this, to discover what could be down their, I don't think any fish will be down there bc most chill in the shallow water of the lake or rivers.
What leaves the shallow trail that you can see at 3:36? It's a third of the way from the top of the screen and on the left. You can see it again, very briefly at 4:03. Cool video. Thanks for posting.
Great video. Everyone, please be responsible and wear a life jacket when out on the water no matter how good of a swimmer you are. The temperature and waves in that lake can take you under in seconds at certain times. Stay well and enjoy that beautiful lake :)
I've been dreaming of doing this for 50 years. Thanks for making the vid. I was surprised at how firm the bottom was. I'd imagined a 30' layer of gradually thickening mud. So who/what's making the grooves?
Lol not octopi .. I'm pretty sure it's underwater currents.. if you think of dunes in the desert, how they are formed by wind, the same applies underwater on a sandy bottom, but motion of water molecules, instead of air molecules...
What was that bluish rocky looking area barely showing under the sand? It had a track leading away from it but you followed it then cut to the next shot! What at the end of that trail? What is that discoloration down there?
Keen to know what tether setup did you use? On the blue robotics website they mention max length of 300m for observed communication for their fathom tether. Have you gone fibre optic? Cheers
We are not using a fiber optic tether, we are still using a copper tether. The 300m max length is determined by their Fathom-X Tether Interface Boards, not the actual tether. We are using a different protocol for the communications over the tether which is how we are able to achieve communication over greater distances, while still using the same tether type.

@@colto8284 "My whole life, I have heard rumors that there are a lot of human bodies that have been dumped in Lake Tahoe. The one that sticks out for me is that in Truckee, they had brought in hundreds of Chinese immigrants to build the railroads. When all was said and done, they didn't want to have to deal with paying them and giving them promised citizenship so they took the immigrants out to the middle of the lake and tied them together in big groups and weighed them down and dumped them in. "So the rumor states that not only are there hundreds of people down there all tied together but they are perfectly preserved because of the cold temperatures. It has been said that some independent filmmaker got ahold of some deep sea diving machine and found where all these people were at and went down to see for himself so he could film a documentary on it. When he came back up, he said he would not film it because the world was not ready to see what the U.S government did to these poor people."

2 questions: 1: would night vision work on the robot? and 2. How long could the robot stay in 1 place? if you landed on the bottom and parked it just to see what would swim around it, how long can it stay in place?
You go probably do that overnight with a go pro, make a stronger case for deeper waters, a stand/tripod with LED or ir and tie it with rope and have a big balloon float

He never actually dived into Tahoe. That's a myth. But this is the best take on the myth. There are a few things down there: 1. Shipwreck of the SS Tahoe 2. Petrified pine forest 3. A small airplane. 4. At least one natural arch. 5. Long ago, the mob dumped a few people into the lake, but the fish would've eaten them and their clothes would've floated up and washed ashore. Remains of cement shoes or iron weights might be able to be found.
Family owns a cabin at Tahoe, so I vacation there a lot and family and friends always joke that their are bodies in the lake as well as treasure (for the kids) to be found. Kinda glad that isn't the case. Well, at least in the areas you checked out lol.
@@Jeremy_Fisher I know. It's all just for fun though I'm certain it's been a dumping ground throughout history like many bodies of water. Now, if I saw bones or a skull or something, I'd be a little freaked lol.
Frank Sinatra owned the CalNeva. And he was in the mob. They did dump people for a while. But yes, the fish would've eaten them. They would, however, have left behind cement shoes or weights or other such things.
@@SOLDOZER not much if you want the anchor to wobble with the rise and fall of the waves and leave dinosaur tracks. : ) But, when we would anchor, there was a deck pile of anchor line. The hard part was getting the set angle right with the current so we would be above the rock ledge that held grouper. To raise the anchor, we would clip a big orange polyball to the anchor line and drive the boat towards the anchor. When we got over it and kept going, the line pulling through the ring at the polyball would pull the anchor up until it was hanging at the ball, splashing along behind us. Then we simply pulled in the rope and piled it on deck for the 14 hr ride home. We usually caught around 3,000 pounds of grouper in about four days out.
Literally only if some ancient dude dropped it from a canoe. The lake formed approximately 2 million years ago, so there was never a time when humans were present that the lake didn't exist. Certainly there are artifacts and habitation sites at the water's edge, but none would be found lower than the historic seasonal low water mark.
That would be a fun place to explore. We know of a group up there that is starting to do some exploration and hopefully there will be video soon! We used some off-the-shelf components, some of our own products, and did some custom engineering work. It is getting less expensive with time to do things like this, but somewhere between $10-20k USD is a reasonable estimate.
Ok. So I did the chelan thing with a "cheap" sub called chasing gladius mini s. Took her down as far as it would let me. 328 feet. Then a message blocks your view on the phone saying depth limit, and doesn't let you go any further down. I suspect the bluerov2 has this as well, so there's not only hardware mods, but software as well?

Lived in Tahoe my whole life and always wanted to see the bottom. I had no idea macks lived that deep. I always catch em around 300ft.

Ok. So I did the chelan thing with a "cheap" sub called chasing gladius mini s. Took her down as far as it would let me. 328 feet. Then a message blocks your view on the phone saying depth limit, and doesn't let you go any further down. I suspect the bluerov2 has this as well, so there's not only hardware mods, but software as well?
Mindblowing!
Great video. I was expecting to see a boat, a body or a plane
How far can the light from the ROV be seen at 500m?
