    Thank you for sharing this. I don't know anything about scuba diving, but I imagine a lot of preparation is needed. Thank you for cleaning up the lake along your way. I am in a masters program studying music for film, and am currently writing music based on a Lake Tahoe blizzard. I am fascinated with how drastic this lake can change. She's beautiful when calm, and eerie when disturbed by the strong Sierra winds.

    I've been enjoying your videos you share with us. Tahoe has always fascinated me, above water and below. It's history is fascinating. To imagine how over 100-150 years ago, the land was stripped of its' trees. And I'm sure some of those trees were possibly used as rafts to transport people/goods from place to place before there were developed roads. And the geological formations of the rocks and layers is awesome. And many people don't realize how deadly the cold waters can be, even in summer. I lived in Kings Beach for 7 years('97-'04 owning/operating a hotel). I have the big Lake Tahoe book telling it's history. Again, thanks for your videos.

    A couple of things that really stick with me:
    1. Lake looked very healthy. 👍
    2. There wasn't nearly as much human trash as I expected, thankfully.
    3. The topography was absolutely stunning, and very surprising. The sedimentary layers, along with apparent river channels were fascinating to see. I'm wondering why there were so many trees out that far from the banks. Also, I saw some interesting large spherical rocks, whereas most were more flattened, akin to river stones.
    Thanks for sharing this footage. It really was fascinating!

    • @mokpot
      @mokpot  4 роки тому +2

      I am glad you enjoyed it. I had read that there was an eraof drought that persisted in this area for several hundred years. It ended 4 or 5 hundred years ago. Another lake I dive in this area has trees still standing upright over 100 feet deep. When they were studied cuttings were taken and the wood still smelled fresh. It is an amazing area to explore. BTW, your comment is refreshing!

    • @AGDinCA
      @AGDinCA 4 роки тому +2

      @@mokpot Ah, an extended drought would answer the question of the excessive trees trunks and limbs. It makes me wonder just how much deeper it is now than at its **shallowest known depth. I am also wondering if the depths are cyclical, as many drought periods are.
      Now that I think about it, the drought you mentioned actually explains the sedimentary layers I saw, as each rainy season thereafter would bear witness to yet another layer of mud as the lake's water level slowly rose.
      I'm glad my comment was "refreshing." Personally, I didn't think it was particularly interesting... which frightens me for the caliber of any other comments you must receive. LOL

On our 2nd dive the next day we came upon a girl who had just drown while water skiing at about 30 feet, it was a pretty traumatic 2nd dive for a 14 year old, though it didn't dampen my enthusiasm for diving.

She being an Alpine lake there are no native aquatic plants other than grass at the shore in places where it can grow. The trout in there have excellent eye sight and will scram before you can spot them. Oh yeah, you better get to Garwoods and spend that token!

    In Kingsbeach Lake Tahoe where Highway 267 comes down and meets Northlake Boulevard if you go straight out in the lake and go to the west 200 yards there used to be a beach club ,they tore it down I worked there in the 80s and we would have a dozen boats sink in the wind every year might be interesting to find some stuff out there great videos thanks

    I just watched a video a guy fishing at Cave Rock State Park on the NV side of Lake Tahoe reeling in the fish so they are there...... Mostly I guess they are camera shy... LOL The great thing of diving the colder water is the algae blooms have not happened yet and the water is much more clear to dive in. Thanks for the videos.

    Good Morning Mark, Finally trying to catch up on your videos. Hahahaha Press Button For Gas Attendant. Made me laugh so hard. Great sign. Would make a cool yard suncatcher wind chime. But is is also great as it is.
    All is good here. Still recovering from a tick bite. Never had one react so badly. Sent me to urgent care and was treated for two weeks on high dose antibiotics which require me to stay out of the sun during treatment and for two weeks after. Really crimps my yard work style. Thankfully the sun goes down about 8PM here and it stays light enough to work outside until 10PM. Hopefully this will stop the possibility of my getting limes from this little sucker. First time I have ever had an issue like this. I feel great now so lots getting done inside. Finally oiled all my kitchen and laundry room cabinets. 12 years old it was time. They look all clean and new again. I have a couple more of your videos to catch up on. Hopefully later on today. Thanks for sharing.

      Chris... so good to hear from you. I actually just videoed a round up, from a dive I did and I mentioned you, asking you to contact me because I had not heard from you! So when the video appears in the next 3 or 4 weeks disregard the plea, unless I edit that out... if I remember to edit it out... Lyme disease can be awful, I hope you do not have it. Still doing art projects? You mentioned once you might be interested in the lens from the unusable sunglasses for an art project, let me know if this is still the case. : ) Mark

I did not water the three mounter stag horn ferns though. I just did them in the bathtub a few days ago. Most of my plants are from traded cuttings so they have been my babies a long time.

    Wow, came across your video and was intrigued. I live in Sacramento and have been to Lake Tahoe tons of times. When I see the lake I always wondered what was down on the bottom. Like others surprised there was no fish 🐠 or plants, plus pretty clear. What end of the lake do you visit, how deep were you? They say the lake is so treacherous but maybe that is in the deep middle part. Anyway, this was cool, like to seem more videos since I have a fear of scuba diving so I will live vicariously through you.
