Lake Tahoe Scuba Diving Rubicon Wall & Emerald Bay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- A scuba diving road trip to the South West shore of Lake Tahoe. Fresh water altitude diving at 6,200 feet above sea level. A fun yet very different dive than the ocean. A very interesting underwater landscape especially Rubicon Wall yet very limited marine life. Water can get extremely cold at this high altitude. Thanks for watching and reading this far!! I truly appreciate it.

Beautiful....but very disappointed there was no narrative on what was showing on screen. :-(
Thank you for your comment Sue. I don't narrate any of my videos I would rather you sit back and enjoy the visual along with the music. I try to add a good written description but can probably due better. One of the things I enjoy about scuba diving is being in the moment without having to verbally communicate, just being there if you will. Do appreciate the comment and the fact that you took the time to watch.
How deep does the Rubicon wall decent too?
I believe it's about 1000 feet. Way deeper than recreational dive limits. What's so cool is that there are spots that have a sheer vertical wall. When you combine that with good water visibility its like flying over the edge.
Hello. At what depth do you encounter the thermocline? What is the water temperature below the thermocline in mid to late October?
I have only done two dives in Lake Tahoe but plan on going back because it is such a unique dive (at least for an ocean diver like myself). When I was there in September 2020 the water temp was 52 F at around 80 feet. No doubt the water in Lake Tahoe is cold. I saw several warning signs stating the water can get "extremely cold". I was diving in a drysuit so I did not notice the termocline so much. I would definitely recommend a 7mm wetsuit with a hood and gloves or a drysuit. Hope that answers your question.
Brad drops things off hidden inside rocks with big magnets in them anddrops them offat the lakebeds and comes back with magnets on ropes and cameras attached t find the loot

Did a number of dives 40 years ago in Lake Tahoe as part of high altitude dive training. No computers, had to calculate all dives on paper via US Navy Dive Tables. One thing I noticed from your video. I did not remember so much green algae on every thing. Rocks were almost barren granite when I dove it. I wonder if what you saw is the result of water pollution?
A little backstory to this video. While I was there a wild fire was raging just north of Tahoe. Lucky for me I got topside video hiking the trail on the first day, which was the only day with blue sky, the test of the time it was pretty smokey. When I cut to the Emerald Bay part, you can see the sky was not clear but filled with smoke. I had my camping spot reservation cancelled the day before my arrival due to the wild fires. Since I was driving up from San Diego and only had one day to dive, I was determined to dive Lake Tahoe!
Water pollution or just warmer water making the algae grow. It was definitely a bit green down there with a water temp of 52F at depth in September. Not much marine life either.
Thanks for watching
Not one fish
Sad but true.
Harry rook all of his stash and others
Hello.....are you near Long Beach?
My favorite site is Ship Rock.
I live in San Diego but do make it out to Catalina Island and yes, Ship Rock is a very cool dive site over by Twin Harbors. One of my favorite dive sites as well!
Nice video Peter. Looks like fun!
Thank you Stephen yes - it was fun and very different from what we usually see when we dive together.
Super hot material! Am I the only one with wet pantys?
Thanks for sharing Peter - great job capturing the immensity of the wall.
Thank you so much for commenting on my video. Really appreciate it!
Yeah!
Awesome!
Thanks
Great video Peter. Looks so peaceful and great diving in Lake Tahoe
Thanks for the comment. I just checked out your channel - great stuff, now of course I need to visit Bermuda.
@@peterneubauer9712 Yes you will have too. I have been based here a few years now for work and it has been great
What were the wooden structures starting around 2:00.
The wooden structures are barges made out of ponderosa pine timbers. They were owned and operated by the lumber companies to haul wood part of the year and ferried cars during the summer months. They are between 10 and 40 feet deep, much shallower than the Rubicon Wall. On October 1, 2018 the wrecks became part of the California Maritime Heritage Underwater trail. Thanks for asking and checking out my video.
@@peterneubauer9712 Amazing. Thanks for the info and footage.
Great stuff, Peter! I love it man!
Thank you so much Matt.
Nice 👍
