Get ready for an underwater adventure that’ll make your adventure-loving heart race! On September 5th, the Tahoe Fund and Restoring the Lake Depths Foundation are about to blow our minds with a never-before-seen livestream journey to the bottom of Lake Tahoe.

Meet Deep Emerald: Your Underwater Guide

Imagine a custom-made remote-operated vehicle named “Deep Emerald” descending 1,570 feet below the lake’s surface, broadcasting crystal-clear video in real-time. This isn’t just another tech stunt, it’s a scientific mission with serious environmental cred.

“Few people have had the opportunity to explore what’s under the surface of Lake Tahoe, the second deepest lake in the U.S.,” says Amy Berry, Tahoe Fund CEO. And she’s not exaggerating. This lake is a massive, mysterious underwater world waiting to be discovered.

More Than Just a Cool Livestream

Deep Emerald isn’t just a fancy camera drone. It’s already helped scientists identify potentially invasive species and has been instrumental in removing litter from the lake. With Tahoe’s lowest recorded depth at a staggering 1,645 feet, this ROV is our ticket to understanding this incredible ecosystem.

The livestream kicks off September 5th at 9:30 p.m. PT on the Tahoe Fund’s website. So grab your laptop, pour a craft beer, and get ready to explore Tahoe like never before. This is adventure journalism at its finest, bringing the unseen world right to your screen.
