I live in a city 15 minutes from Tahoe. The entire city is littered with "Keep Tahoe Blue" stickers on cars, water bottles, etc. People here have great respect for that lake. It's a big news story once we have some litter influxes
@@boatingman11 we don't get crocodiles in tahoe or i haven't ever heard of anyone having an encounter with one . it's like tessie people think it's there but they have nothing to back it other than just some old folk tales (tessie is basically a under water dinosaur that somehow survived) p.s. sorry if you were being sarcastic my bad lol
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.
Hey Trevor, I appreciate you taking time to comment. I agree with your poetic description of the wonder of the world. I would enjoy hearing your composition when it is completed.
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.
Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe would be a great place to take a dive. The rocks around there are amazing!! And lots of people hang out and swim there. Lots of potential cool stuff to find.
Hi Sean! Yes i have dived Sand Harbor several times and have metal detected there on dives also! I love the area This was before I was YouTubing… i should go again!
Hi thanks for tuning in. As I understand it Lake Tahoe basin was created by glacial action. The Chevron Island sign is one of my favorite finds, I swam over it for several years before I finally turned it over.
Hi Mans, it looks like most lakes in the high sierra mountains, little plant life. As for fish, the large fish tend to school near the deeper parts of the lake. Just an occasional trout in this area, always leaving as I arrive. Thanks for watching!
I watched another Tahoe post and you were under a very long dock.The bottom wasn't rocky and I saw scores of really impressive crayfish in big groups.,. There must be fish in the lake because of the amount of fishing lures you found... Never saw a fish, but I believe they're around... Thanks for the adventure!!!
Made my first open water dive in Tahoe in the mid 70's, I think it was from Camp Richardson, I remember great vis. a complete lack of fish, and cold. 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. Thanks for sharing
This is probably one of my favorite underwater landscapes in your videos. All the logs and stones. There is just a simple beauty to it all. Plus you can get your tanks filled underwater. (@10:53) COOL LOL I didn't see the button though. Not a lot of treasures but to me the scenery was the treasure.
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!
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!
@@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 **shallowest - is that even a word?? Welp... it is now!! 😂😂
@@mokpot LOL! Yeah, I can't imagine it would be particularly advantageous for fish to hang out in the crystal clear water. Predatory flyers would have a field day if fish hung out in the shallows.
Thanks for taking us along on another of your adventures. That's a pretty cool sign. The Chevron Islands Sign is very cool. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
You may want to consider a metal detector next time. There’s got to be treasure down there. Oh, and I found it funny to find fishing lures, as I didn’t see a single freakin’ fish!
Thanks for this video. I have long wondered what was at the bottom of Lake Tahoe. I have envisioned it being dark blue, with quartz castles rising up from the bottom. It turned out to be pretty boring - not even the sight of Tahoe Tessie! But thanks for going through the trouble of filming this.
Enjoyed! I was intrigued by the cave/recess and the notching in some of the bigger logs. The scenery while you were cruising was very cool........thanks for letting me go along.
I only visited Tahoe once when I lived in the East Bay. Beautiful scenery but never touched the lake. I'd love some metrics like depth, water temp, and it looks thoroughly lifeless, no fish or even vegetation. Cool video, first of yours I've found but I'm exploring the rest now.
Actually Tahoe is very healthy and clean, it is in the High Sierra mountains, about 6400 feet above sea level. I have dived many High Sierra lakes all are about the same, little plant life . Most of the fish tend to stay near deep water
Let me know if you find a metal weed pipe. I was hanging out on a boulder near Incline Village about 22 years ago. Had it all packed up and ready to smoke. Then I dropped it. Thanks!
Tahoe is over 1600 feet deep and miles long and wide. It has been my experience to see most of the fish near the deeper sections. I see an occasional Trout here, but trout are camera shy.
Water clear like A fishtank , enjoyed iT , hope you get out and in iT more now Miss the tranquillity All the best ...still watching you mok Greetings from the dark waters of Holland
that's a great dive! maybe not a whole lot of "treasure", but i think the scenery can often be the actual treasure! cool spot, thanks for sharing! Pete
FYI- that Chevron Marina sign is easily the treasure- you could get an east four figures from a collector. (I work for a company that buys and sells vintage signs like that *not sure if it’s vintage or just rusty but that might be why it’s hard to find info on.
There is a Marina where I found it, so I am pretty sure it is vintage Thanks for commenting and making me think Lol, I swam over it for several years before I finally turned it over
Well I think the dive hard card was a plant, Someone knew you were coming and wanted some free advertising. I love the Tahoe Tessie lures. Love the video!!!
Nice dive! Just found you. I’ll be hitting all the buttons. I’m in Truckee and Big Blue is teeming with life! Tahoe is 12 miles long and 6 miles wide wit 72 miles of shore line. 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! Bring the wife, very romantic fine dining with an excellent view from north looking south right there in Carnelian Bay.

mokpot I was just being sarcastic. No offense meant. I've been to Tahoe before, and it is beautiful. I do enjoy your videos. That was just the first one of yours I had seen. I've seen a few others since.
If you are ever near Syracuse, NY area try for a dive permit for Green Lakes state park. I did some free dives in both lakes, there are some really great sights just below the surface. Eerily calm clear deep water.
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
Cora Vanwolf you are fortunate, Tahoe is a beautiful area... can you recommend some good food stops? I really enjoy the fish tacos at BridgeTender in Tahoe City, good burgers to...
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.
I saw a few fish... Trout are shy, they run from me, Bass are attracted by the sound. I saw quite a few minnow schools as well, i guess the didnt make it into the final edit.
@@MissCV I'm not sure about that. Because there seems to be a few that have been built for a cabin of some kind. You can see the notches in a few of them.
Cora Vanwolf i read once that Mark Twain was an early logger at Lake Tahoe, he mentioned that a cooking fire that got of of control burned up much of his efforts to make his fortune...
Nice little bunch of finds. Lake Tahoe is too cold for this old man. I have had the "Wet Woody" it's not bad. Keep on diving. Oh, btw, my brother has a house on Lake Tahoe so I'm there all the time.
Great vid man. I love that lake. I found a solid gold ring with my metal detector about 2 yrs ago. Not much junk in this lake. Was a joy to not find fishing sinker after fishing sinker. Also got 2 mercs and silver war nickle
The last time I knew that lake Tahoe has over50 natural springs feeding it. They say IRS 99.9 %pure spring water .its so clean you can see the bottom in over 100ft deep.
Interesting logs down there, clearly worked by someone for...? Curious. Not the kind of joinery I've ever seen fo structures like a building, maybe a bridge road bed? Glad the sign made it ashore, that'd look great hanging on the wall in my workshop.
All that wood laying on the bottom and the overhanging shelf gave me the willies. No thank you. I don't know what it was about the lumber, but that was eerie.
I dove Tahoe a couple of times and I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of any aquatic life. It's such a beautiful Lake and yet no plant life, no crawdads, no fish in the shallows, nothing. :( I even dove a wreck in Emerald Bay and nothing but silt.
Actually Tahoe is very healthy and clean, it is in the High Sierra mountains, about 6400 feet above sea level. I have dived many High Sierra lakes all are about the same, little plant life . Most of the fish tend to stay near deep water
Minnows and a few trout in this area, trout are camera shy. The larger fish stay near the deep sections , it is in the high sierra mountians, I have dived a dozen lakes in this region, all are similar
I wonder if the fact that plastic doesn't disintegrate is better than if it would... although there are micro plastics... imagine a body of water of years of melted plastic integrated into it. I hope would come up with solutions in the future.
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.
Because of my general low opinion of humanity, I would have expected a LOT more trash on the bottom of Tahoe. Pleasantly surprised.
Don’t be fooled, there’s plenty of garbage down there, it’s just all covered in dirt and Algae
I live in a city 15 minutes from Tahoe. The entire city is littered with "Keep Tahoe Blue" stickers on cars, water bottles, etc. People here have great respect for that lake. It's a big news story once we have some litter influxes
The crocodiles eat the trash.
@@MattMan01 yeah i live in tahoe i can confirm that most of the town
Love's the lake and will do just about anything to keep it "blue" as we call it
@@boatingman11 we don't get crocodiles in tahoe or i haven't ever heard of anyone having an encounter with one . it's like tessie people think it's there but they have nothing to back it other than just some old folk tales (tessie is basically a under water dinosaur that somehow survived) p.s. sorry if you were being sarcastic my bad lol

Thanks for the ride, mokpot. That was a cool dive. The scenery is very cool, very relaxing. Beautiful lake.
Wow the logs and the rock/sandstone formations. So Awesome. Thank you for sharing this. Tahoe is amazing. Wish I could visit there more often. ♥♥♥
I am glad you enjoyed it
Very cool. I have to wonder if those ledges were caused by a tributary, wave action or glacial. That Chevron Island sign is fantastic.
Hi thanks for tuning in. As I understand it Lake Tahoe basin was created by glacial action. The Chevron Island sign is one of my favorite finds, I swam over it for several years before I finally turned it over.
Clear, water but so few fish....interesting. When you came upon the sign, it made me giggle. As always, I loved your video.
Dianne Febles thank you Diane!
This is the first video I'm watching from this channel...so on to my binge watching. Tahoe looks devoid of life
Hi Mans, it looks like most lakes in the high sierra mountains, little plant life. As for fish, the large fish tend to school near the deeper parts of the lake. Just an occasional trout in this area, always leaving as I arrive. Thanks for watching!

At least you don't have to worry about Sharks 😊
That’s very cool. I watch to many horror flicks like lake placid to try that but it’s extremely awesome!
hahahahahaha
Thanks!
@@mokpot Tahoe Tessie is no joke
It eats people
I keep an eye out for Tessie... so far nothing.
That looks like a great time. I would love to learn scuba diving! I am shocked at the complete lack of fish in all of that structure though.
I saw a couple of fish, mainly they stay near deeper water.

Looked like someone was playing “Lincoln Logs” under water! 🤗✌🏼❤️
Lisa, I always wonder what building were they a part of?
mokpot they were a children’s building logs toy, like tinker toys, or erector sets.
LOL, oh yes, I had a few sets as a kid, I meant the huge ones in the water!
Gotcha! I wonder how big the people were who were playing with these Lincoln Logs! 😂😳

Nice quiet dive. Got a laugh out of the Gas Sign, just thought it was a bit deep ! :) Sure was alot of cut timber down there. See you next time !
Looking forward to it Jane
That lake is so beautiful! I have not been up there in years to see it. I need to make trip up there again soon.
You do

The chevron sign goes with the island pumps they had in the early 60's . A floating gas station.

A strange lifeless moon scape..It's good to see someone cleaning up the trash.
How deep did he go? Looks pretty shallow, but much cleaner than I thought it would be. Where are all the fish and other water life?
I didn’t see any fish… dude found a couple of fishing lures, but no sign of aquatic life
I saw fish... all going away from me.
Those logs will go for a pretty penny. Look like they were pretty old, notched for wood structures
I bet they would! Thanks for watching!

Very few tourist get to visit from out of state CA/NV & everyone loves Tahoe so much we truly respect all the nature it embodies ❤
Lake Tahoe is certainly one of the most beautiful areas in the world.
I dove Tahoe a couple of times and I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of any aquatic life. It's such a beautiful Lake and yet no plant life, no crawdads, no fish in the shallows, nothing. :(
I even dove a wreck in Emerald Bay and nothing but silt.
Check out my other Tahoe videos Hundreds of bugs!
Actually Tahoe is very healthy and clean, it is in the High Sierra mountains, about 6400 feet above sea level. I have dived many High Sierra lakes all are about the same, little plant life . Most of the fish tend to stay near deep water
Very cool, thanks for sharing. It is a little creepy, I keep expecting you to find Fredo Corleone
LOL...If I did YT would not allow me to show him!
Good dive, as others said surprized there wasn't more garbage out there. But a few interesting items.
Nice lures but I didn't see much fishis? Did you happen to see any fishis?.new subscriber,and added a like!. thank you for the dive!
Minnows and a few trout in this area, trout are camera shy. The larger fish stay near the deep sections , it is in the high sierra mountians, I have dived a dozen lakes in this region, all are similar
Fish need food. Just rocks don’t cut it.
Wow pretty cool thanks for the ride
Welcome Walter
A good program. As I said earlier. Why not dive for lake cleanup or body searches.
WOW, wondered where you went, YT must have unsubscribed me, but I'm back great video, as usual.
Glad to have you back Ray!
There is a Chevron Island near Brisbane Australia that has a marina, That is a long way from Lake Tahoe. What are the odds??
THe odds are very long Doris!
I snorkled there once. It was cold but when I flipped over a few rocks I found lots of Crayfish.
Nice!
I wonder if the fact that plastic doesn't disintegrate is better than if it would... although there are micro plastics... imagine a body of water of years of melted plastic integrated into it. I hope would come up with solutions in the future.
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.
Hi Kathleen, This dive I was diving the north side, the deepest I was on this dive was between 40 and 45 feet. The fish tend to stay near deep water.
Nice underwater footage.
Thanks Rudy
