Given the account of the alpha drive and marker R2, here is an image that includes the marker (it was in my software) as well as the alpha drive. I've left middle island and the dam in the image so you can have reference to where she is discussing. The R2 marker lies somwhere between 15 and 30...

Besides the town, a few folks asked about bridges. There is a bridge that was submerged "Hales Ford Bridge" that is just south of the "New" bridge" that is SR122. Here is a link to an article that displays the new and old bridge shortly before the flooding of the valley. If you blow the image...

Alright, given the request for a zoomed in map, I've copied a map of the area being asked. The upper right includes middle island and the smaller one below it. To the lower left is vista point - you can see the end of 626. I've highlighted the submerged roads in yellow, and highlighted the...

Hey all, Being the original poster of this - I've been watching the conversations again -- nice to see! Given the Google Map image, I'm attaching a corresponding garmin lake map. It shows the submerged roads, timber, etc. The marina is in the upper left, where the road goes submerged and...

Since you are looking for someone to satisfy your tv audience, I'm your guy. When the girls used to set me up on blind dates with their friends, they always said I had a great personality! That must mean that I'm quite the catch:D What do I know about marine life or biology - nothing. What...

I have dove all three quarries - Blanche, American, and Norman. American is a mud-hole in my opinion. If you like doing dark minimal viz dives, then it is your place. I haven't seen much there, because I don't like diving it. Blanche is my favorite. During the week, there is very little...

My nautical maps show LOTS of underwater timber! I've found a few photos of the reservoir as it filled. They logged the top 1/2 of the valleys, but left timber standing in the lower 1/2 and bottom. Most of the lake has timber fields in it. I don't know if it is standing timber, or loose...

I've seen that page, as well as a few others out there. Some claim that marinas used to charter people out to the site, but nobody really mentions which charters, when that was, or every posts any contact info. Hence the reason I'm doing some searching! Anyone out there in the know...

I'm wondering if anyone has heard the legend of an underwater town located in Smith Mountain Lake - somewhere around Vista Pointe? There are rumors around the net, even a possible picture or two, but I have yet to find hard evidence of a town...or a location. Does anyone have information...

I dove the triangle wrecks this summer and the oriental. Had terrible viz the three times we went out (less than 3'). I hope that sometime I can get 30 ft shore diving! The last time I went out, we had 0ft viz - kind of a bummer when you can't see your hand in front of your face until you...
