Way to go Harve! You nailed it -- Lake Licancabur on the Chile-bolivia
border is the highest body of water in the world, so that's a diving
record that can't be beat (sorry record-hunters). My source was a factoid
article I clipped from a Skin Diver magazine from 1983. It says the lake
is 19,455 ft., and has a self-contained ecosystem due to there being no
plant or animal life on the volcano's slope for several thousand feet
below the crater. 
Gee, we knew something George didn't! Call the media! ;-)

BTW, what was your source - did you just look in an atlas, for high lakes ,
or do you have a compendium of weird diving info?

It's not the pace of life that concerns me -- 
it's the sudden stop at the end.
