I am sorry to hear about your dive site. However, I own and operate "Sarge's Dive Shop" which is located on Summersville Lake in Summersville, WV.
Summersville Lake is called "The Little Bahamas of the East" by "Skin Diver Magazine" because it is the cleanest clearest freshwater lake east of the
Mississippi River. Summertime visibility varies from 20 to 40 feet depending upon rainfall. Our season starts Memorial Weekend and ends after
Labor Day weekend. This is necessary because the Corps. of Engineers drops the lake each fall 77 feet for whitewater rafting on the Gauley River and
for flood control through the winter. Each April 1 they start holding water back to bring the lake back to its summertime pool of 1652 feet msl.
The lake is oligotrophic with steep cliffs that go 75 feet above the water down to a depth of about 100 feet. We have huge boulders, cliffs, overhangs,
swim-thrus, and stumps and fish to look at. The summertiime surface temperature is about 85 degrees. The depth of the lake is 0-300+ feet.
We run diving, swimming, and snorkeling charters on the lake during season. Sarge's is a full-service ERDI / SDI / NAUI dive facility with scuba sales &
service, air, rentals, and classes.
Sarge's is an authorized dealer for: Sherwood, Genesis, Akona, DUI, OTS Full-face masks & U/W communications, Dive Rite Mfg., and Henderson
We are not that far from your area and we would love to take you diving. Check out our websites:
