Once you get about 30 feet below the surface of the Great Lakes, you hit a thermocline where water gets (and stays) much colder. Bodies do not decompose quickly at the lower temps. There are shipwrecks from the last century that still contain recognizable remains.
Yep, depending on the depth, if a body is kept cold enough to stop decomposition then it may not appear for years or decades.
