[PSUBS-MAILIST] Next summer, Lake Jocassee, SC gathering?

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Might be better as an expedition, or dive regatta since it looks rather remote, about 3 hours drive time from a major airport such as Atlanta or Charlotte.  There appears to be a campground nearby but I don't see a lot of nearby resources in terms of hotels/restaurants which would be a problem for a convention.  Any specifics on these issues?

Hi Brian,
I remember you being delighted by Jocassee lake after visiting with Harold. It looks incredibly similar to Summersville Lake in WV, which was my favorite until I took Snoopy to Seneca. They're both created by a damn, both have limestone cliffs, reportedly similar visibility, etc. The scenery and shore look exactly the same (both wonderful). Jocassee has the advantage of local support, which we don't have at Summersville but do at Seneca. Personally I'd vote for Seneca again, because it does have one thing that Summersville doesn't, and that's that the visibility remains good even right after massive rain. At Summersville the visibility is good, but only if the weather has been dry. Perhaps man made lakes get a lot more runoff than ones that have been around since the last ice age. I wonder whether Jocassee might be similarly fragile. Any idea?
Here's a very old Snoopy video shot in Summersville: https://vimeo.com/18184179
And here's one in Seneca right after days of deluge: https://vimeo.com/131692448
What I really like about Seneca is that the green gives way to blue at depth, so it feels like the ocean down there.


Best,
Alec

Hey,

For those on the East Coast I'd like to propose diving in SC next summer, a Psubs convention.

I was there last summer and made some great local contacts. Google the lake.

Thoughts?
