This dive site, Scuba Park at Beaver Lake, is a well-established inland training location known for its easy shore entry. Divers can follow a line system to explore various submerged attractions including cars, a plane, a houseboat, and a training platform. The site also features a gentle slope leading to deeper areas, transforming into a dramatic terracing wall dive to over 120 feet, navigating through an underwater forest. It serves as a popular hub for Open Water and Advanced diver training.
As a freshwater lake dive, marine life consists primarily of freshwater fish species such as bass, crappie, catfish, and various sunfish. Small invertebrates like crayfish and freshwater mussels may also be observed. The 'underwater forest' indicates submerged trees and vegetation provide habitat and add to the unique landscape.
The Scuba Park is ideal for divers of all levels due to its diverse topography and range of depths. The shallow entry areas are perfect for beginners and snorkelers, while the deeper wall dive offers challenges for more experienced divers and freedivers. Visibility can vary with the season and recent rainfall, but typically offers sufficient conditions for training and exploration. Visiting during calmer weather periods will enhance the experience, and practicing buoyancy control is recommended to fully appreciate the unique submerged landscape and structures.
