   I can’t believe anyone would dive this lake for recreation. I do some dive work around docks for people and the vis is always 0 to 1 ft. Most times you can’t even read your gauges with a light.

   I used to dive Grand a couple of times a year. . . I found some visibility from “Two tree island” south to the dam. I quit diving that lake not because of poor visibility, but because of the boat drivers on that lake. A dive flag is required for you to dive legally, and I had close calls with boats every time I dove there. During a contest we were hunting carp, and at a sandy point out from a creek I passed a 10 lb.+ bass in 20 feet. I usually tell fishermen, but a bass boat ran over my bubbles and was sitting 10 feet from my flag, when I surfaced, he told me to leave, this was his spot. I left the lake and haven’t been back.

   It’s close to home for you, so fly your dive flag and be very careful of the boats. Beaver Lake in Arkansas, or Tenkiller lake in Oklahoma, both have better visibility, and dive shops near the lake for air or equipment.
