Great shot Scott. Drop me a line and let’s set up a time to scan the target we talked about today.
I can attest, as can Jabber Jaw and Grateful Diver, to the great visibility in the lake today. A group of us were diving the “Dawn”, south of where Scott’s group was working the Lake. Sounds like our group and Scott have been doing the same thing. We have located SEVERAL new things in the lake. We have been side scanning or diving the lake several days a week for quite some time now and this is the best visibility we have had. We are trying to video and document all the items that rest on the bottom. Even at rate we are diving the lake, it will take a very long time. We have located literally HUNDREDS of targets. It’s a slow process sorting thought the “known wrecks” and the “new ones”, because we stared from ground zero. Meaning we had no GPS coordinates for “known wrecks” before we started our project last year. We have been cataloging our travels at

Here are a few our side scan images.
The first one is a 45 ft fishing boat we found in 150 ft (All wood, decent shape). The second image is of the “new Minesweeper”. It has a shadow that show the structure of the ship in great detail. When we dove this last July; We had no clue it was a third one. We just thought it was one of the other two ships that everyone already knew about. We never would have guessed there were three ships. We have a few good leads and hope to have a positive ID on the name and history of this ship soon.
Edit: I could not get the images to load they are at http://www.soundaquatics.com/zippy.htmlAnother great day on the lake. I hope tomorrow is just as productive.
