Inside The Secret Underwater Lake Fort

A Nevada family of scuba divers has prototyped an underwater fort – an anchored air pocket in a net – at the secret location at the bottom of a lake in the Sierras. And it’s been there for three years!

It’s made with vinyl, mounted under a net, mounted to an octagon of steel. I’m going to say that this is Lake Tahoe, but there are certainly many large lakes in the Sierras, so I could be very wrong. Interview with the family over at BoingBoing.

    I hope they purge the “pocket” from time to time.
    The carbon dioxide level might get a bit high…

      I’m sure they would have a CO2 filter

    I don’t see any filters.
