This dive site, Goat Island, is easily accessed by boat from any launching ramp on the lower part of Greers Ferry Lake. It offers straightforward navigation around the island's perimeter, making it an ideal spot for recreational diving. There is no specific historical background provided for the dive site itself, but its primary draw is its accessibility and clear water conditions relative to the rest of the lake.
The site is teeming with various freshwater game fish, making it a popular spot for spearfishing during season. Divers can expect to encounter species such as Bass, Crappie, Bream, and Catfish. While not a coral reef, the underwater environment provides habitats for these fish, making for an active freshwater ecosystem.
While no specific 'best time' is mentioned, warmer months would generally offer more comfortable diving conditions. The site is highly recommended for beginner divers and those interested in freshwater spearfishing. Its relatively good visibility for a lake site and shallow depths also make it excellent for freediving and snorkeling enthusiasts.
