This dive site, known as Underwater Statue Alley, is located near a DUKE power plant on Lake Jocassee, accessible from Seneca, SC. Divers follow a dedicated course through an underwater canyon to observe various statutes. The power plant's operation can generate currents up to 2 knots, making navigation dynamic and challenging at times.
The lake is home to various freshwater fishes, which can be observed alongside natural rock formations. While specific species are not detailed, the freshwater ecosystem offers a unique diving experience compared to marine environments. No specific macro life beyond general fish is mentioned.
The site can be visited year-round, but conditions are highly dependent on the power plant's water flow, which dictates both current strength and visibility. Divers should be prepared for varying conditions, including potentially strong currents and low visibility, which can range from 9 meters to zero. Freedivers can explore the shallower areas and statue course, but must also be mindful of the variable currents.
