There was an old mill there where the dam for the mill had chewed up a hole down stream from there. I only found 23' as the max depth but Shooter found a 25' deep spot. Let me tell you it is kinda creepy down there with 2' viz and zero light. My mind kept playing tricks on me everytime a bunch of leaves from trees came by me. It was about the same as a night dive because the water was so inky dark. No big fish were sighted.
The guy that died in the Mississippi River during the certification was traveling head first down stream with the current when he hit a car with his head. Lights out. Game over...

There is more to the story about the diving accident, He was doing a advance open water class and had very few dives in his log book. He should never a been there in the first place.

Should not need to see, if your doing it right. you should realy do patterns and grid searchs in areas.
