Lake Havasu?

[minnesnowta]

Hi everyone, newbie here. Just got certified last month and the husband and I went to Bahamas for some diving a few weeks ago. So we have exactly 10 dives logged.

We might be going to LHC for the last week of December and were hoping to do some diving out there.

Any advice? Dive shops that will do this? Words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance!

It's also the only place: Scuba Training and Technology Inc. 928-855-9400 Scuba Dive Lake Havasu - is their rec site. It's going to be cold in late Dec. since it's fed by the Colorado River - expect mid-50's or slightly warmer.

Thanks you guys! Yep we are planning on it being chilly. Hubby and I have agreed to give each other 7mm farmer john wetsuits for xmas. We live in Minnesota so we do want to get into cold-water diving as well.

Thanks very much for the info on the Tech Diving place. Do you know if they will rent out a BCD, reg and tank to us? I am guessing "yes" but still new to this whole game so I am not quite sure.

[user]JS1scuba[/user] is the owner - Joel Silverstein - mentioned here^ and on their contact page. I live in Phoenix so don't get out there much.

I worked out there a few years ago and went diving in the lake and dove two wrecks in two different states on the same day. (One was on the California side and the other near Lake Havasu city.
Our favorite for those dives was a fully intact sailboat in shallow water, (around 20 some feet), but everything was on the boat and cool to swim into to check out.
Stop by Joel's shop for info, etc.

Lake Havasu has a lot of great diving in December -- it's a little chilly but the visibility is clear. Water will be about 42f so bring some thermal protection. New Years Morning we do our Annual Frozen Fin Dive ... it's a fun event.

Give us a call or drop a line . www.scubatrainingandtechnology.com
