This dive site, known as Scuba Dive 65, is located near Exit 1 off I-65 in the United States. It's a unique inland dive spot, characterized by an array of man-made objects including boats, planes, and trains, serving as interesting underwater features. The exact history beyond its owner's artificial introductions is not detailed, but it appears to be a privately maintained recreational or training facility. Navigation would involve exploring these distinct, relatively large structures.
The marine life at Scuba Dive 65 is not naturally occurring but has been artificially introduced by the owner. Divers can expect to see coy fish, bass, and various hard-shell turtles that have been added to the environment over the past few years. No natural plant life is explicitly mentioned, suggesting a primarily artificial ecosystem.
The surface water temperature can reach the low 80s Fahrenheit (around 27-28°C) during the summer, making this the best time to visit for comfortable diving conditions. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 15 feet (3-5 meters), which is relatively low, so divers should be prepared for limited sightlines. Its shallow maximum depth of 11 meters and average depth of 5 meters make it suitable for beginner divers and a good location for practicing skills. Freedivers and snorkelers can also enjoy the shallow depths and artificial attractions.
