Black Miners Bar State Park
One of the more popular freshwater dive sites in California found in Lake Natoma. Not the best visibility but easy to access calm conditions, and a great spot for new divers to practice their skills.
Not a lot of wildlife at this site, some freshwater lake fish like bass, catfish, and carp. Make sure to keep off the bottom so visibility doesn’t get worse.
