What’s swimming in Lake Tahoe’s depths?
By Kevin Oliver, KCRA-TV
It had never been done before. But, a Northern California man dedicated to finding Lake Tahoe’s deep-water secrets finally recorded video from the deepest points of the lake.
A particular image Chase Petley captured during one of his adventures has researchers scratching their heads.
Petley started his quest to bring back the first video from the depths of Lake Tahoe after driving by the lake and then searching online for underwater images.
When he found nothing, Petley went to work. He built a submersible casing that allows him to drop a GoPro camera a quarter-of-a mile deep to see what lies at the bottom of Lake Tahoe.
