There are certainly many more divers with more bottom time in Winnipesaukee than me, but I've logged a good number of dives in the Lake over the years, across all areas of the Lake, and have never seen a definitive "old" shoreline at 15-20 feet. And I've looked...for a while. The three- to five-foot level increase sounds more plausible, and also would explain absence of a visible previous shoreline. After all, any shoreline features in that range would probably be erased over time due to wave action, freezing, etc.
