As I understand it, diving is not permitted without special permission from the Marina manager. I've asked most of the marinas around Lanier for permission and they've said no. Perhaps if you tell them what happened they would give permission for me to dive for it. Just let me know and I will...
Yes, I got them. How close is it to the Bald Ridge park boat ramp? Do you have gps coordinates of where you lost the gear? I've had searches that lasted months because people have been off by as much as 50 yards because they weren't sure exactly where they were when they lost their item. In Lake...
Thanks for sharing man! We are all praying for your continued healing. All of us landlocked divers love coming to dive with you guys in Panama. Full speed ahead Captn!

Lanier gets better once you pass the 60-70 ft marker. It tends to get clearer the deeper you go. I've hit 120' near the dam and vis was as far as your light can shine. It is cold though.
