This dive site, known as "The Anchor" in Lake Stamford, is a freshwater reservoir formed by Stamford Dam, located northeast of Stamford, Texas. With a maximum depth of 5 meters, it's a very shallow site. Navigation is relatively simple due to the limited depth and the presence of aquatic vegetation. There is no specific history or story provided beyond its function as a reservoir.
Underwater, divers can expect to see typical Texas lake fauna. The aquatic plant life includes stands of bulrush, cattail, pondweed, and lily pads, which form the primary features of the underwater landscape. Specific fish species are not detailed, but various freshwater fish common to Texas lakes would inhabit the area.
The best time to visit for diving is outside of late spring to fall, as algae blooms during these seasons significantly reduce visibility to a mere 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9 meters). This site is best suited for beginner divers, open water training, or those looking for a shallow freshwater experience, rather than for vibrant marine life or complex underwater topography.
