The boaters spotted what they believed was a car submerged beneath about five metres of water.
Max's family lives in Sherwood Park, Alta., but runs Griffin Lake Cabins on the shore of the small, mountain lake 15 miles west of Revelstoke.
Previous owners of the summer cabins had boated and kayaked on the lake for 17 years without ever seeing a submerged vehicle.
Two officers set out on the lake, taking Max along, but couldn't see the vehicle. So Max then jumped into the water with his GoPro camera. He surfaced with video of a vehicle upside down on the bottom of the lake.
After that, police sent a dive team, tow truck and boom and hauled a 1986 black Honda Accord from the water on Aug. 24.
A female body was inside.
RCMP Sgt. Thomas Blakney said police ran the licence plate and discovered the car was owned by Janet Farris and had been reported missing in 1992. They also noted the missing person case from that same year.
Police think Farris likely swerved to avoid an animal or lost control of her vehicle for some other reason and rolled into the lake. There was no visible front-end damage to the Honda, so they don't think it hit anything.
