Blue Lake

At Seabase, they have created separate places to dive, test your skills, train, and be in awe while diving with saltwater fish in the middle of the desert.

Deer Creek is a great place to spearfish. Visibility can vary, but it is good for the most part. Temps are similar to other lakes in the area. There are some rocks and other things to see.

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.

Natural hot spring north of Tremonton. There is a dock to dive in from as well as 2 platforms and a short obstacle course. There are rumors of improvements coming.

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.

You will want a wetsuit when diving Strawberry Reservoir as this water gets cold! There is typically good visibility and several good locations to dive. This is not a State Park, so make sure to pay your entrance fee.

Bear lake is a unique dive spot in Utah because of its size and depth. The prime spot to dive is off the eastern shore called Cisco beach, this location has a quick to reach drop off that has large rock formations and a cliff like edge for exploring. Temp is cold year round and even in summer can be 60°F/15°C at surface.

The Flaming Gorge Visitors Center has multiple dives of varying difficulty and types of dives. You can do a deep dive right off the shore where you can hear the eerie moan of the dam’s turbines, or head towards an island with a ton of fish and rock formations.

Dive at Sand Harbor to see large boulders and rock formations. You will run into some fun swim-throughs on one side of the cove, as well as honeycomb rock patterns on the other.

This site is located at Waterman’s Landing. It is a very shallow shelf that extends for quite a way. This is a great site to practice existing skills and learn new ones. Please do not park in the shops parking lot, they request that SCUBA divers park on the street. Restrooms are available at the little cafe.
