Soda Lake Mine Dive

Fallon, NV - Soda Lake is an active flooded volcano that once was a mine. When water channels were built to water local farms, this caused lake levels to rise 60 feet - leaving the mine covered in 35-40 ft of water.

I guess theres a very slow inflow at the mytery hole, keeping the fine silt suspended, water seeping in from those channels enters Soda lake right there, maybe? Creepy...

I figured maybe it had something to do with the thermocline being right at the depth where that hole starts. The cold heavy water is stuck down in the hole with all the silt and can't go anywhere. But that still leaves the question of why there is always silt floating without being disturbed. You would imagine that the silt would settle. Definitely one of the more strange things I've seen underwater.
