Gotta love it when the government gets involved. I got hassled really badly on my last dive in Beaver Lake, Arkansas. 
Thanks,Scott

Scott, in order for me to get a special use permit to dive the boat at this Federal lake, I had to agree to have the US National Park Service have a boat in the water and cover the cost of the boat an four rangers for the day.  I gave them a briefing to start the day.  They had two concerns that prompted the boat and rangers.  The first is my dive plan call for a dive that was deeper the recreational dive limit so they wanted to know what the plan for rescue during the deep dive and the second was that the dive location for the deep dive was right in the middle of the channel and they were afraid that boat traffic would be an issue.  Also as this lake shares a border with Mexico, I guess they were afraid I was going to morph into a drug submarine.  Even though they were costly, they were supportive  but did monitor my VHF dive channel.

Nice video Cliff. Looks like you got a visit from the police with the SUV there on the boat ramp. 
 
Thank you,

 Lake Amistad 2016 is a link to YouTube video of dive last weekend.  This is the deepest dive to date with the boat.  Got the thruster electrical issue from my last dive sorted out.  The objective in diving this lake is that it is the deepest in Texas and most of the time, the clearest.  Having said that, last weekend visibility was bad.  Surface vis was 6ft, lost all light at 80 ft and zero visibilty at 154 ft.  Still if was fun to get the deep dive in.
