JS1scuba:
I have a PDC here in LHC --- Scuba Training and Technology Inc. We dive the lake here all the time because we have it. Vis during the winter is 20-30 foot. Water temps are 59f now. For the most part we have 900 acres of fish habitats, "geology" diving a few cool "walls" and lots of "rummaging" where we find everything from beads to rolex watches. It's good fun diving and a GREAT place to practice your skills. We have an active dive club here and we have lots of fun.
As to the old saloon........ we have lot's of saloons in "lakehavabrew" but i have yet to find one u/w.
Drop me a line and we can get you set up.
Regards,
Joel, like I said, we've done limited diving there, but are interested in doing more. Any decent shore diving in Havasu? We just got a boat, but it won't be ready for the water until late Spring, early Summer (it was free and needs some work on the motor), and we'd like to get up there before that to take advantage of the viz. We've heard of the rummaging dives as well, especially after Spring break.
As for the saloon, here's the information from that website:
Liverpool Landing - Underwater City
Location: West of the Island, in the middle of the lake.
Depth: 50 - 60 feet
Visibility: 10 - 40 feet
Current: 2 - 6 Knots
Skill level: Master - Advanced Navigation - Penetration
Position you boat so that the red beacon at site five is at a bearing of 000 (North) and the furthest white chock cliff to the south is at a bearing of 180. Then position your boat so that you are in the middle of these to points. Underwater, look for the river rock beds (where the old river used to be, before they filled up the lake). Run the river bed East and/or West until you find the river dock (a man-powered ferry for horses). Follow the river dock East, on a bearing of 090, until you run into the Saloon. Look for bar stools! Run north on the front side of the saloon. The next building is the Blacksmith's shop! Look for the anvil - Please leave it there!! The next building, running north, is the livery stable. Look for the fenced stables and horse troughs. Next, still running north is the Hotel. 2 stories - the first being another saloon and the second being the hotel. There is a mirror in the third bedroom. WARNING!! Extremely bad Mojo, and bad luck to anyone who disturbs this site or takes anything from it. Please leave it there!! Look but don't take anything!! Also, if you are planning to penetrate the buildings - DO IT RIGHT!! Safety divers, ropes, wreck reels, dive lights, the whole nine yards!!
Is this site just a crock? It looks legit. Maybe you can check it out on one of your outings. PM us your dive schedule for the next couple of months and we'll try to schedule a trip up your way. We'll definitely look you up next time we're there.
