Welcome to Tahoe Deep!

My name is Chase Petley, and I am seeking your support in the endeavors of the project, "Tahoe Deep". I have been working on this project for almost a year now, and I am excited to see its progress, but have a lot yet to accomplish.

What is "Tahoe Deep"?

Tahoe Deep is the name of the project as a whole, in which I will be lowering a submersible exoskeleton to the bottom of Lake Tahoe, which is North America's second deepest lake. The submersible will need to withstand the crushing force of over 1,600 feet of water, and over 740 pounds per square inch.

Why Lake Tahoe?

First and foremost: nobody has ever been to the bottom of Lake Tahoe, let alone recorded the bottom of it. The estimated depth of Lake Tahoe is 1645 feet, and there are many rumors as to what may be at the bottom of it. Some common myths as to what may be at the bottom of the lake are that of a cryrptozoological creature rumored to have been seen, nicknamed the 'Tahoe Tessie', as well as famous mobster's mass burials in the lake itself of those killed.

Not only would Tahoe Deep be able to prove or disprove the myths surrounding Lake Tahoe, but it would also give a more accurate depth of the Lake's floor.

Where we are



      Now that Tahoe Deep has moved in the the production phase I'd like to share some of what the culmination of hundreds of hours of work has accomplished.

      The most amazing details of Tahoe Deep can not be expressed VIA a photo and I would love to share those details with you. Unfortunately Tahoe Deep has competition and some aspects of the submersible exoskeleton are a guarded secret.  If you have any inquiries or questions about Tahoe Deep feel free to contact me.

As of today ( September 30th 2013 ) the blog goes "current" I will be updating the blog more often to share with our sponsors and friends our progress.  I would like to thank Derek and Larry of Omni Cubed, Inc. for everything they have contributed, their greatest contribution being their friendship.

Parts are being made, the weather is getting cold, lets see what's down there! Don't forget the visit the blog and spread the word. Splash day is coming up soon.
