Hi!
I am a new diver. I just got my OW certification last year at Dive Haven. My wife was certified before I met her. Well we live in Cumming, GA so I was thinking why not dive Lake Lanier? My wife is very hesitant to try the lake because she feels visibility is terrible. Which, after reading a lot of the posts here, I guess is true. But it's so close and cheap, so I am still considering it. From the posts I've read, it seems like it is even worse now that the water level is so low.
For a new diver like me, would you recommend it? And where would be the best place in Lake Lanier to shore dive from (considering the low water level)? It sounds like WBP it the best from reading the posts, but still unsure. What are the dangers to be aware of? Or should I just wait until I get some more experience?
Thank you. I value your opinion, since you have the direct experience with diving this lake.
