About this dive site

This dive site, Tigertail Lake, is a shore accessible freshwater location in Dania Beach, Florida, prominently used for Open Water Diver certification courses. It serves as an excellent alternative for training when ocean conditions are too rough. The lake features various artificial structures, including statues, underwater platforms, and other surprises, which are ideal for skill development and navigation practice in a controlled environment.

Wildlife is not a primary attraction at Tigertail Lake, with the description noting 'not much wildlife to be seen here'. The dive experience is therefore focused less on natural ecosystems and more on exploring the artificial landscape and practicing diving skills.

The lake is suitable for diving year-round due to its calm freshwater conditions, providing a consistent and safe environment for training. It is highly recommended for beginner divers and those undertaking certifications. Freedivers can also utilize the shallow depths and artificial elements, though the water's 'greenish' hue may affect visibility.
