Lake Calhoun

[scubadog76]

Aahh, Lake Calhoun.  The spot I dive the most is at the south end and the west side in front of the apartments.  In the spring in front of Thomas beach up until about the 1st week of may, you will find dozens of turles resting through the winter, burried up to their necks in sand.  They are always there and its pretty cool to see.  On the south end somewhere :, you will find a very old wooden sail boat mast.  We are gonna keep it on the down low for a while.  On the west in front of the aptartments, you will find a very cool sewer/water type aparatus in about 20'.  Not sure what it is but its cool.  The north side is tough to access and I really have not dove it that much.  The east is shallow and not too much to see.  I was swimming out on my back and actually got stuck in the sand about 100 yards from shore.  You may find stuff that the rowing teams drop there.  I found a blow horn.  Stay away from the sailboat areas or you'll probably get hassled by the man.  The best part about the lake is that it can drop off pretty quick.  You can also find alot of old pictures on the web and get old photos to get an idea of where stuff used to be.  There once was a bathhouse of the northwest corner, now its just a couple of hills.  Also, an interesting google for Calhoun, James Moon, Lake Calhoun.  Hope it helps, Jeff.
