Neptune Divers, 84106 Salt Lake City

Blue Lake

  • 1629

This is a great year-round diving destination. The geothermal lake provides warm water diving even on the coldest winters. Local dive shops have been using this location to train divers for many years. There’s ample unpaved parking. It is recommended you bring a tarp to keep the mud out of your vehicles.

Lots of bluegill and crappie fish due to the warm water; other species do not survive. Wildlife on the surface includes many animals that would frequent marsh areas.

Homestead Crater

The Homestead Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface.

Meadow Hot Springs

This hot spring is a little off the beaten track, but it is worth a visit or two. Even if you just want to soak, this is a fun spot. There is not much room in the hot spring (4 people max), so do not expect a destination dive. This is just a fun to visit while traveling through the state.
