Scuba Adventure

Today we were able to dive a piece of history. At 9:51 a.m. July 21, 1948, a B-29 Superfortress, weighing in at 104,556 pounds, took off from China Lake, California. It traveled to a test area near Lake Mead to conduct high-altitude atmospheric research. After the last measurements were taken, the pilot took the plane a little lower. Both the pilot and co-pilot thought they were around 400 feet above the lake’s surface, but the altimeter was reportedly off. Around 12:30 p.m.... traveling at 230 miles per hour, the B-29 struck the water and sank to the bottom of Lake Mead where it still lies today. Below are photos of what the wreck looks like today. All 5 crew members of the plane were saved. Diving is by far the most rewarding sport/hobby someone can have. We are planning on returning again next May if you are interested.

Getting our dive on at Hoover Dam.

No better way to end Hoover Dam Dives than with a Dam Tour.

Hoover Dam from a view most do not ever see.
