Sacramento area divers/diving

[Yeason]

I'm putting this out there to see if there's anyone in the area who would be interested in some lake dives. It's been too long since I've been in the water, I don't think I've gone more than a month in the last three years and now I'm up to 90 days! =(

I'm also interested in any information on 'good' local places to go for a dive. I know lakes aren't going to be amazing I just want to get in the water again!

I'm outside of Sacramento (Loomis) and would be up for trying some lake dives. I don't have any info on where to try, only done Tahoe (Meeks Bay) twice.

Check out Divebuddy.com the have an interactive map called scuba earth with thousands of dive sites with comments posted by members. I believe most lakes in northern California are listed on this map.
its also a good place to find someone to dive with, just post when and where you want to dive on there Buddy Wanted forum and you usually get replies.

I am in Pioneer S/E of Sacramento I have dove Folsom Lake and multiple times in Tahoe
I also try and do day trips to Montertey once a month.

I got certified in Folsom. The viz isn't all that great. I was at Browns Ravine. Don't know if any of the other sites would be better, although I have seen some good viz videos on YouTube.

There is a new dive charter boat operating out of South Lake Tahoe. Check it out on CaliforniaDiver.com:

Just dove with them last Saturday. Very nice experience. Did Rubicon and the barges. Much better than lugging gear and beach diving.

Hey Yeason,
I recently got my OW certification and am looking for buddies in the NorCal region. Because of COVID, I am floating between Sacramento and Monterey. Once COVID is over, I'll be back in Sac full time. Let me know if you'd like to dive together sometime! Never been lake diving but it sounds fun!
