Two small planes collided over the lake Sunday. One a Cesna 206. Eight believed Dead. Two found.
Sunk to 127 feet. Just about the limit for recreational divers.

206, that’s a 6 passenger can
Likely a tourist outfitter
Any mention what the other aircraft was?

Cessna 206 and a De Havilland Beaver - ugly - local folks said lots of flying in the areas that day.

It may be months, if ever, they recover all the bodies. Cold lake, thermoclines. I used to swim in it, and even surface waters stayed cold all summer ong.
FIL plane, over 40 years ago now, had oil changed there in his Cherokee6 retractable. Mechanic put in plug for the non-retractable gear model -elephant ears on it, which broke when the gear came up, Oil pressure went to zero, turned back, didn't make it back to the airport, ditched in lake. FiIL lasted long enough for the boats to get there.
About 90 days before MIL recovered. They could see her on sonar at about 60 feet, but the divers could never find her. Eventually did, after many tries.

I heard that story many years ago from an A&P... had no idea of any connections to AK.

I don’t know where you’re getting your dive information but 127ft is nothing really and the cold is just an inconvenience for a professional. A professional recovery crew can and will be all over the wreckage in a few hours. Nothing particularly dangerous about the recovery.

I was there....In-laws made it out of the plane before it sank- basically un-injured.. I was there (from my remote Interior Alaska cabin) 3 or 4 days later when they pulled the plane up on the ramp. FAA guy cracked the cowling, looked at the oil plug, and said "That's it, then".
Apparently free-floating bodies in cold water don't bloat well and are harder to recover than a metal aircraft.
I was assuming that not all the people would still be in the aircraft. No problem with recovery if they are.

Did this more sparsely populated area 40 years ago have that kind of equipment and training? Maybe they did on Pend O'reille at the naval installation. Maybe they didn't.

'Cause I Said: " recreational dive limits" Agree not a big deal for pros. Might lead to stupid in rec divers though...
