Utah diving?

[Chadwick]

I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on some of the diving hotspots in Utah. I am going to be in Park City (east of Salt Lake City) for 6 weeks and by looking at Utah Diving (http://www.utahdiving.com) , there seems to be some good diving around. Anyone know where I can find a buddy?
Thanks in advance,
-Chad

My regular dive buddy wants to dive Lake Powell. I'm game but it sounds to me a house boat is needed or recommended to find the best spots. Thanks for the Dive Utah link, that was great.

Does anyone know if house boats are available to rent, and approx cost.

Sounds like an interesting dive.

Bonneville Seabase and Homestead Crater should be done once for the "been there, done that" factor if nothing else. They are both unique sites, whether you want to dive them a second time is up to you. Homestead was EXTREMELY warm, I was wearing a skin and was starting to overheat. It's kinda boring but I wish we had one here in Ohio for winter check-out dives, definitely a nice site for a training dive.

Bonneville was fun because you can take Romaine lettuce with you and feed the fish. Diving an inland salt water environment complete with tropical fish was just ultra-cool! I would definitely go back there again!

We dove Lake Powell too. We had our 19 foot open bow ski boat to camp on instead of a house boat. It's definitely roughing it but if you can't afford a house boat you can sleep on a smaller boat as long as it doesn't rain! We beached the boat at the end of a canyon and went exploring underwater. The visibility was bad at that spot and the canyon wasn't very wide but we still had a 40 foot dive. My non-diving sister was with us and she won't let us bring diving gear when we go boating anymore, I don't think she liked having to carry the stuff around :mean:

Hey, thanks for the links. I've seen a few of those, the rest are great.

Jeez, house boat rentals are pricey :wacko:

Now to do some research....

Tell me about it, I was planning a family reunion at the lake and decided on another place! Glad the links helped.

Might as well go on a cruise to a tropical location..
