The activities of the manned submersible were mentioned in today's Chronicle. Tom Stienstra noted that the 2-man sub made more than 40 dives in Tahoe and Fallen Leaf lake. On several dives, the crew noted ancient submerged trees rooted at depths of 100 feet. These trees suggest what may have been drought many years ago.
This spring's submersible missions may find even more evidence as this vehicle will dive deeper and actually take samples from the lake bottom for analysis. Results could provide significant data to support evidence of past droughts.
Stay tuned, our science minister will keep tabs on all diving activities, especially those in the neighborhood of Tahoma/Homewood.
