About this dive site

This dive site is located at Trident Marina on Lewis Smith Lake, accessible via County Road 222 off Alabama Highway 69. It offers a convenient shore entry from the boat ramp located at the marina. Divers can explore the lake bottom around the marina and beneath the nearby 'Big Bridge', encountering various freshwater structures. There is no specific history mentioned beyond its use as a marina and recreational dive spot.

The site is home to diverse freshwater fish species, including large mouth bass, crappie, and hybrid stripe bass. Various types of turtles are also frequently encountered, adding to the local aquatic life. Plant life would typically consist of freshwater algae and submerged macrophytes common to North American lakes.

The best time to visit this dive site would likely be during warmer months for more comfortable water temperatures and increased fish activity. It's an excellent spot for recreational divers seeking an easy, amenity-rich freshwater experience. Freedivers will appreciate the manageable depths for breath-hold training and observing local fauna.
