Real Divers dive into oceans .. that third mainland bridge water you see is just a lagoon.. not as deep as the main Atlantic ocean. On that note, it is very possible to dive there..
Be honest and hit the share button if you don't fully understand the difference between a lagoon, ocean and other water bodies and need me to explain.

I came into Lagos yesterday and I drove through Third Mainland Bridge today. The water looked so brownish which left me wondering, can divers enter this water? If they go under, can they see anything?

All manners of Shits & Dirts are being thrown Into the water. It's the most dirtiest sea water In the world.....

Yes you can but that lagoon ain't hygienic at all. The other day I was going to leventis, you need to see the way those homeless people who live on the pillars were having a shìt. Even fishermen do stop for a shìt while in action too. Alot of industrial waste from companies on the island are flushed into that lagoon too. If your body no strong, you'll fall terribly sick.

Mtcheew. As an Ilaje boy, born and brought up in Ilaje Bariga, I don swim the 3rd mainland bridge water since I was a toddler.

In company of other people, we swim from Ilaje shore to the bridge and back in swimming contest. In fact, beyond the bridge, we used to collect periwinkle from under the water when I was a teenager.

3MB actually follows a route which is like the shallowest part of the lagoon that in is near land.
This is because the deeper the water,the higher the construction costs so it only makes sense the water isn't too deep.
However during the dry season the lagoon loses depth and you can actually see fishermen standing in the water especially between Adekunle and Unilag and just before Oworo.
As per visibility ,normal people will not see jack but professional murky water divers can even find a watch or phone if they know where it fell.
That said,that water is disgusting because somewhere around Iddo,all the poop trucks in Lagos dislodge.
I heard that is what the fish eat,poop and dead human beings.

It was divers who went down to mark the foundation of the pillars of the bridge during construction. Good divers can go into the water and comeout anyday.

Very true, you see fishermen casting fishing nets while standing inside the water,and you'd also see sawmill workers rolling timbers out of water.

For divers, feasibility will be a major issue when underneath but there are parts of the ocean along Badagry and Ibeju coastline that scuba diving can he fun to practice.
they re standing on their boats not on the water,i do Watch them from unilag water font

I'm an underwater welder, actually visibility is not important when diving scuba, because you'll always have a flashlight with you, the depth is the real deal, any depth from 100ft is nightmarish.


Pls tell me more. How is it under there.

Hi, I don't know if your question has been answered satisfactory because the first page of your thread is filled with Nairalanders usual crazes.

To your question: The water can be dive, reasons the bridge could be erected in the first place.
Visibility could be challenging in terms of seeing far away to evade dangerous water creatures, but it's never a problem to divers. There are special gears meant for such water bodies, not only for visibilities, but also to protect divers against pollution.

The fear of divers isn't visibility, unless it's shark infested water... The greatest fear and threat to all divers is depth, due to pressures. At some certain depths, even modern equipment will suffer damages.

The water can be dive.

How do divers protect themselves from dangerous water creatures, like if they mistakenly enter shark infested water?

Divers done just dive into any water without proper preparation and surveys.
There are techs that detect sharks, these techs are deployed under water to scan the areas divers will be diving, from this they know the green and red zones.

If for any reason tech falls, sharks aren't aggressive creatures. As long as you're not bleeding or trying to attack them.

Third mainland bridge water is deep o. Those people you see are Ijaws. They could stay in the water for long without their legs reaching the ground. Many times Molues, the long buses widely used in Lagos then and some other vehicles have missed their way into the water. You won't even see part of them outside.
