Skin Diver magazine once had a state by state article on what the best diving sites in each of the 50 states is.
In Utah, there is a natural cavern up in the foothills near Heber City called The Homestead. It is a warm water sink hole that goes down 65 ft. The water is crystal clear, and warm. The location is actually at a town called Midway, and you are right up against the ski resorts and mountains there. I would guess the altitude to be about 5000 ft. since its at the foothills.
I have been meaning to get over to Utah and dive this site in that state. I would like to try the other 49 as well.
For a landlocked state, Utah actually has a fair amount of scuba diving. Most of it is dive travel to Mexico etc. But there are local lakes that are fairly clear, where scuba training is possible.
Too bad about the kids diving the tunnel. With gumption like that they would have made great industrial hard-hat divers. If only they had lived through their immortal youth. They would have been better off diving at The Homestead in Heber City instead.
