I bought my Dad a book a while back about the building of the major hydro-electric dams in Alabama. It had a pretty good chapter on Martin dam and the impoundment of the lake, including descriptions of some of the areas that were submerged. If you can find a copy of the book, you might get some good ideas of places to dive, though my experience has been that the vis below 20 feet or so is usually marginal, and it gets miserably cold below the thermocline. Here's a link to the book on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0817308792/qid=1115116457/sr=1-39/ref=sr_1_39/103-1636257-3588651?v=glance&s=books
If that didn't work, the name of the book is "Putting Loafing Streams to Work". Do a quick search on Amazon and you'll find it.
