Most of the lake is only 15 foot except when you swim towards the center where the max depths go to 53 feet in the very center of the lake. This natural spring is a delight and in summers the water temps can be up to 82 degrees, in the winter it is always never cooler than 72 degrees. Perfect for diving any time of year.

Nitrox Certification (EANx or Enriched Air Diver) SSI, or NAUI or PADI $199.00
Many claim that Nitrox will get rid of the after dive headaches and the tired dragging feeling. While we cannot claim that is true scientifically, we can state scientifically you will get more bottom time especially on successive repetitive dives. Nitrox gas also lessens your chance of getting Narcosis as well. Nitrox is great for deep diving to about 100ft. Nitrox is the 2-3 tank shipwreck diver’s dream gas and simply has a bit more Oxygen in the tank. There are things that happen when you add more oxygen that add considerations which is what this training is all about. Certification price above includes your books, tables, training and dives. Only 1 dive is required for this certification and it can be completed in one day. We usually recommend a 2-tank boat dive. Minimal discounted boat fees or state park fees (average $6 day) are additional/optional, however everything else is included, your gear too! Click here for more information or to purchase.
