This dive site features the intriguing Train/Water boiler Wreck, located in a natural cove of a freshwater river near Idaho Falls, United States. Accessible via a fishing trail north of the Art Museum parking lot, divers can navigate into the cove where the boiler is roughly centralized. This is a historical industrial artifact now submerged, offering a unique glimpse into the past within an unusual diving environment.
As a freshwater river environment, the dive site is home to various local fish species common to Idaho rivers, such as rainbow trout, brown trout, and different species of minnows or sculpin. Plant life will consist of various freshwater aquatic vegetation adapted to river currents and sediment, though specific notable species are not detailed.
The best time to visit this site is seasonally, specifically when river currents are mild, as swift currents can be present further west of the cove. Divers should be proficient in current diving and capable of navigating in potentially reduced visibility. Freedivers might also find this site interesting for exploring the wreck during optimal, calm conditions, but must exercise caution regarding currents.
