It blows my mind to think that deer were probably at one point running around all those trees at the bottom of table rock and now it is a 100ft submerged forest...unbelievable
Jerry Lees boy are you dumb? They built the dam to provide hudroelectric power to the surrounding area, the water in tanycomo is so cold because it the run off water from 200 or so feet down
My worst freaking nightmare!! My brain would not allow me to be on the bottom of that murky lake unless I was dead lol. I wanted to learn how to dive but I just can’t get over my phobia of deep water. My brain automatically panics and says I’m going to drown. Plus not being able to see well I would hate to come face to face with a fish the size of a car down there. I would have a heart attack on the spot!!
I live 10 minutes from Table Rock Lake now. It's a very clean, clear lake! I grew up a little over an hour away, usually going to Grand Lake in OK, this lake is by far cleaner than what I'm used too.
The trees were left as fish habitat in both Bull Shoals and Table Rock Lake. There have been several diving deaths on Bull Shoals that were believed to have been related to divers getting tangled up. Plus, Bull Shoals, Table Rock and Norfork Lakes are all deep. The basin of Norfork was clear cut, bldgs torn down and fences removed. I remember all 3 dams being built, but am more familiar with Norfork.
Probably a dumb question for someone who knows the answer, but I'm wondering how the trees are still standing after so many years. I would think they would decompose. Lack of oxygen or cold temperature perhaps?
Thank you very much for posting this nice video. I spent a good 20 years diving this lake (much at the dam) and have not been down in a while. It was great to see it again! I hear the "Enchanted Forest" is really nice, especially when there is a full moon.
So cool! It really is a whole other World down there. We are going this weekend to dive to try and find a Cherokee mound at 30ft on the east side of Tn. Hopefully visibility will be good enough to video it.
Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing watch! My family is from the Table Rock Lake Area and I've spent my whole life listening to talk about "before" the lake was here. It was incredible getting a glimpse of where my ancestors could have walked! I am terrified of deep water but now have a life goal to become a certified scuba diver so I can see it first hand!
I was free diving in Table Rockj Lake in 1969 down to about 15 feet and the water was so clear I could see forever. And I did not need goggles, just my open eyes and the water was so clean I never felt it on my eyes. The water here is green, not clear.
there wasn't a need to cut down every tree since they would be so deep and perhaps they left them for the fish(but I figure it was just because they didn't want to). I have always seen trees deeper than 30' and stumps from 30' and up.
When I left in 93 , I was working on tieing a cable from the south pillar of Kimberling city Bridge to the old Bridge for experienced divers to explore
I just started free diving and Spearfishing. I am in Springfield mo was wondering if you knew a good place I could paddle out to from the campground beside the big bridge off hwy 4?
Tommy, the trees were there before they built the dam & flooded the river to make the lake. They are all dead now but still standing all over the lake.
+FRANK THOMPSON so do the trees stay preserved (unless changed by other occasional forces such as boat motors) or do they slowly break down/apart due to decay?
The trees do slowly deteriorate but the water is so cold that it takes a lot longer than if they were not under water. The dam was built in the 1950's so you can see it takes a very long time.
Not always! Scott Suggs got 2nd in an FLW on the rock a couple years ago and fishing for spotted bass suspended at 60-100ft over 90-120ft of water! If you're out there in february or march, you'll see some big numbers of big spots out there! But the last thing i'm thinking about doing in feb/march is jumping in the lake haha!

You must have done this dive under my fishing hole on Table Rock Lake. Ain't seen a damn fish!
Edward Drew ,
I feel you there 😂
All that structure and only one LM bass
The last two videos I saw of table rock one is 30 minutes and this one too, no fish at all
It blows my mind to think that deer were probably at one point running around all those trees at the bottom of table rock and now it is a 100ft submerged forest...unbelievable
David Foster how did it happen?
This is what government does.
Jerry Lees boy are you dumb? They built the dam to provide hudroelectric power to the surrounding area, the water in tanycomo is so cold because it the run off water from 200 or so feet down
Nope, I'm not. But I think you mean "Hydro Electric". I know very well why the water is so cold, but I'm uncertain what that has to do with anything.
@@jerrylees the government did it to stop the flooding down stream....

I just can't handle the fish they scare me! And the color just creeps me out
I didn't realize there were so many standing trees under that lake. Whats amazing is that those trees will petrify and never decompose.
Have you seen the picture of the Kimberling bridges? The valley was full of trees. I figured it'd either be denser or less dense though.
My grandma lives there and we used to go out there and swim. All these years and im just now finding out that there used to be a town under there.
Water visibility is pretty good for that depth, cool vid.
Pretty good? Bro this is insane, in my lake 30ft down and it is pitch black and murky
@@DrivenDeepYT Yea it is pretty amazing for a lake. My parents lake likely 15ft down you wouldn't see the sun anymore ha

You have to go and see this lake for yourself!!!
Wanna find my GoPro Hero 3+ I dropped yesterday?😂 it's by the cliff with the blue sign saying the numbers "25"
Tanner Braungardt Could you describe the last video/picture?
Tanner Braungardt you lost it at point 25
Tanner Braungardt I'm going tomorrow I will try to find it
i mean its 3 years late but illl try to find it tommorow
Ayo tan!
5:24 Only fishing I spotted in the top left.
That's just so eerie.
Wow I’d have thought there would had been lots of fish 🐟 only one .
this lake is my favorite place to be in the entire world. i really want to dive there sometime.
Not using any filter, thought about getting one.
All the fish are muck shallower, to cold for them down here.
Frank, have you dived on the old 13 bridge? I've seen the sonar scans but a dive video would be interesting.
Did you find my Booyah spinnerbait?
Good chance I did. Found quite a few.
Wow, just a pretty area. I have driven over the dam many times, interesting to see from a different vantage point
If you were diving in the 1980s,you would be able to see a lot better then now!! Before the urban sprawl!
Do you think that occasionally, pieces of these trees break off and wash up on shore?
+SciencePup TheAmericanJoe They do break off, but they are so water logged they tend to just sink to the bottom.
wheres all the life?
Nathan Palcs there is a Thing called a thermocline topically in 30-50 feet of water where there is no longer oxygen below:)
I used to dive that lake in the 80s. Port of Kimberling Scuba
Can’t believe I live next to a flooded town
They water clarity for that depth is great! The lake near me you can't see your hand when five feet under water.
1951RKP the lake I go to you can't even see your hand when you put it under the water
Normally this lake is that way I'm surprised at the visibility
that's creepy to think i swam in that

Very cool video.
If a tree "falls" does it fall to the ground like on land?
Awesome video. If you ever dive the dam at Beaver lake and see any old machinery left there, I would like to see a video of that.
This scene would make for a fantastic horror game.
Worked for Jim's Marine,,, been long time ago
you must be under my fishing spot to because I haven't caught anything for a year ar
More chance of shooting a bear down there than catching a fish..huh
Probably a dumb question for someone who knows the answer, but I'm wondering how the trees are still standing after so many years. I would think they would decompose. Lack of oxygen or cold temperature perhaps?
i live by table rock lake i live in shell knob boy i love it here
Also do you have a place their or do you stay in a rv
I live about 20 minutes away.

Whats the mud on the bottom like? is it just dirt? or plant matter?
Pretty much just mud.
The lights are Princeton Tec Miniwave LED, the camera is a GoPro Hero 3 Black.
Is that the camera the guy posted that he lost??!! LOL ;)
The water clarity at that depth indicates that the water must be very cold..plus it helps preserve those trees.
How cold was the water down there?
Looks like an underwater Radiation storm wasteland.
Sounds like a horror flick
what type of lights and camera do you use... Night vision I guess?
Gopro Hero 3 Black camera.
No fish in sight!??
I am guessing you meant what light? I don't know about the knife, but as for lights we are both using the Princeton Tec Miniwave LED Divinglamp.
What part of the lake would this be?
Is this a reservoir? Lots of trees.
Just a man made lake. Trees were there before they built the dam.
what dive knife was he using i dive myself in tablerock
You want to hide something...
Cover it with water.
*_Looked like Silent Hill underwater version._*
Where is this Table Rock lake?
Is this the "Enchanted Forest"?
Can you go u see docks? I dropped my moms sunglasses between the boat and dock across the 2 docks at wild wood rd
This is strate from a scary movie.🤣😰😰
Awesome dive video, thanks for posting!
As for the knife it is an XS Scuba FogCutter Delta Knife.
No fish?
Great visibility
1 bass at the 5:30 mark ?
Are you still diving Frank?
Yes, I am. I just haven't taken videos in a while.
@@frankthompson7974 That’s good to hear. I was at Stockton Lake today and had about a foot of visibility at 60 feet. 😆
Is this SC
I wanted to see houses and buildings
Is this where the dam was released during a down pour and drowned most of the people in the 60's or 70's? Story is in Weird USA book.
+Vicky Won Nope. Table Rock dam has never failed.
Gammareign lets hope it never does
the creepiest dive I have seen
Cool stuff
Damn so they really are at the bottom.
This is sweet....
is this lake table rock in shell knob, MO. if so I went to camp there.
It is the same lake, we are in the Branson area though.
+FRANK THOMPSON I live an cross the lake from spring branch in rice camp cove
+FRANK THOMPSON I live an cross the lake from spring branch in rice camp cove
Why are there trees at the bottom of that lake? I got my certification in that lake btw.
It is a man made lake. They damned a river and it caused it to flood so there could be houses under the water

I love the lake but don’t care for swimming in it
Not a fish in sight. That's table rock.
The fish have no reason to be that deep... there not much oxygen down there
u seen 2 bass at the end of videoo..
@@joshualee6765 I'll be darned. So that's where they were.
Amazing footage. Great vid!
awesome video! thanks for the upload!!!
Typical Missouri lake. Fished out.
Crossbow Channel Arkansas **
In & throughout the 1960s the shore was covered in tons of brush.

Scary
how far down does fish life stop ?
Most of the time we don't see many fish below 60 feet. Once in a while we will, but most are 30 foot or shallower.
Tommy, the trees were there before they built the dam & flooded the river to make the lake. They are all dead now but still standing all over the lake.
+FRANK THOMPSON It's a dead forest.
+FRANK THOMPSON so do the trees stay preserved (unless changed by other occasional forces such as boat motors) or do they slowly break down/apart due to decay?
The trees do slowly deteriorate but the water is so cold that it takes a lot longer than if they were not under water. The dam was built in the 1950's so you can see it takes a very long time.
+FRANK THOMPSON thanks for the answer. I suspected that if they decay it must be very slowly.
It's just so cool! An underwater forest! :D
It’s a frickin underwater forest
Maybe you can find my gopro up by where that pizza hut is
Much
I didn't see one single fish. is it like Beaver where it is slowly dying ?
+airraptor There are tons of fish, they are all a lot more shallow than we were.It was late fall & the water was really cold at these depths.
5:29
Oh I saw one!!
All the fish tend to stay much more shallow than where we were at.
