Scuba Divers Find Hotel 300 Feet Under South Carolina’s Lake Jocassee
I came across an interesting CNN video that shows some SCUBA divers stumbling across a submerged hotel in 300 feet of water.
I never have thought about taking a diving vacation to South Carolina, but I’ll certainly have to consider it now.
Unfortunately, I’m neither certified for a 300 foot dive, nor do I have the equipment.
Attakulla Lodge was assumed to have been destroyed during the creation of South Carolina’s man-made Lake Jocassee, but divers have found the hotel, intact, in 300 feet of water.
The hotel, was part of a neighborhood called Jocassee Valley.
In 1973, the Duke Power Plant wanted to fend off four rivers and built a dam which flooded the valley and created the lake.
The hotel was believed to have been destroyed until the SCUBA divers recently found it intact.
