This dive site, known as Scuba Diver’s Paradise Deep Horizon, is a dedicated deep-water training platform located in a Texas lake, often used for SSI Deep Diving courses. Averaging 90 feet (23 meters) in depth, divers navigate to the platform via a dedicated line on the lakebed, which also serves as a guide to other points of interest like the 'Graveyard' or 'Advanced Sight'. While not having a rich historical background in the traditional sense, its primary purpose is to provide a controlled environment for advanced dive training.
The cold, clear waters of the lake are home to various freshwater fish species, including plenty of bass, carp, and catfish, which divers can observe during their descent and exploration of the platform and surrounding lakebed. The description doesn't explicitly mention specific plant life, but a lake environment would likely host various aquatic plants depending on the season and depth.
The site is well-suited for advanced divers seeking deep diving experience and those undergoing deep diving certifications. Divers should be prepared for the cold water, necessitating a minimum 5mm wetsuit, and expect to encounter two or three distinct thermoclines. The cold temperatures contribute to surprisingly good visibility for a Texas lake. Freedivers can also utilize this site for depth training.
