Well..... there's this little Lake Pangong Tso in the Himalayas that's 
4328 Meters.  Then, there's La Laguna de la Luna in the Nevada de Toluca 
volcano (also called Xinantecatl) just outside Mexico City that is 4269 
Meters.  Also, Lake Waian in Hawaii (3962M), Frozen Lake in California (3921M).
Pakistan 
supposedly has some(?) small snow-melt seasonal lakes(?) above 5000M.   
That I don't know about. But, all of the others have been dived.  I have 
the details of all dives except Hawaii and California if interested.  

There _is_ a lake in an active volcano near Mexico City (Popcatepetl) but 
I don't think anyone has been in it!
