When I first started diving as a teenager in 1971, I made my 4th open water dive with my father in Balman Resevoir in Colorado. It's up near treeline at 9400 feet (around 2870m).

My memory of that dive was that it was very green. Nothing much to see but green. Of course back then I had no prescription mask and I'm quite near-sighted, so I never did see much on my first 4 dives. After that one I took a 35-year break from diving.

reservoirs can differ from natural lakes in that we inhibit water leaving, sometimes for half the year.   Though I have seen dammed lakes that still seem very clear, so there's more to it than just that.
