I use to dive a lot on the 70's. Lake turbidity was a lot less back then. I enjoyed diving and learn to carry a knife as there are many fishing lines that you can get tangled in. My favorite dive beside the steamer Mt Washington was railroad cars full of paper. It was told here the cars are pretty much rotted away and the paper rolls and steel undercarriges are left.

I dived the Navy site off Diamond Island shortly after they left. I remember what look like a miniature railroad track leading from the big boathouse down the ledge to the bottom. There was 'sensors' linked by wires on both side of the railroad bed.

The scariest dive was off the Isle of Shoals off Portsmouth. The water was shockingly cold even with a wet suit. It got dark quickly and became very spooky. Didn't see much but rocks.

The most beautiful dive was off the coast of Cozumel in the 80's. I have never seen water so clean and warm. You had to pay attention to the depth as it is just as clear 100 feet down as 20 feet.
