Lake Tuscaloosa Graveyard

noladiver · Feb 22, 2008

I was talking to a commercial diver the other day who has been working Lake Tuscaloosa for the past 15 years. I asked him if he knew where the sunken bridge was he replied with a "hell yeah". He also claimed that there is a old graveyard in about 60ft of water with about 15 head stones just off a prominent point. Long story short hopefully we can all get a new dive site or two out of this. Ill post about it when we make the dive.

Having been diving in Lake Tuscaloosa. You will need to know braille even during a dry spell(best vis) at that depth.

I used to work at the Blue Heron we got to dive the Lake almost every shift. Sometimes the viz can get up to 10ft but no promises. Its deff. a limited viz dive but for us locals this means 2 regular dive sites in the lake aside from diving the marina.

An underwater graveyard sounds so cool. I'd love to go check it out!

Even if the visibility sucks, you really can't beat diving in your own backyard...

Nola,

I would be interested in how it goes when you find it. i grew up in Tuscaloosa and was always on the lake but never a scuba diver. i still come up from time to time to see some old friends. i would be interested in diving with you guys some weekend. In fact if your ever in the lake martin area we can take you out to some of our lake sites.
