About this dive site

This dive site is located in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. While not behind a pay gate, the park service still considers it a fee area. Access requires navigating a 4-mile dirt road; four-wheel drive is highly recommended. It’s an excellent choice for new divers due to its easy entry and gentle, sloping bottom. Be aware that there's a deep area extending southward from the site.
