This is a yes and no. It sounds easy, but the truth is you would have to
bury it under the bottom. I have done river crossings before and
Permitting is a nightmare, and then construction if usually difficult as
well. It normally would require boring underneath it many feet depending
on the size it could be 20'. I have seen this done in LA before and it
is impressive they custom built a boat that will cut a trench place the
cable in.

Dropping armored fiber cable in a lake isn't hard.
But obtaining permits and permission from the Lake Commission, and Utah Army
Core of Engineers and other regulating bodies (cities) might be the real
challenge.

Subject: [AFMUG] Underwater fiber
I am working on getting a link over a lake that is 12 miles wide. The lake is
only 8 feet deep (Utah Lake in Utah County Utah). I don't really have the
means to run Fiber at the bottom of this lake, but it made me curious how
someone would go about it? What kind of cable would be required, how would it
be permitted, is this a common practice, etc? I just wanted to get people's
thoughts on it.
Thank you,
