Lake Denton

[johnny_bravo]

Would it be helpful if a lake were opened up to divers that was about 60 miles south of Denton and had a depth of approximately 60' during the summer months, 53' in the winter???

This lake is the stuff of myth and legend right C

I still await my invitation...

Cheers.

Lake Tulane is within a couple of miles of Lake Denton and there is no charge to dive. Me and some others are in the process of putting in guidelines, platforms, and kermit the frog (saved from Lake Buck) into the lake in the coming months.


and FYI the dive shop in the area is Fear Not Scuba: Scuba diving & diving lessons. Scuba gear. Sebring, FL

You should try Weeki Wachee Springs. They are open to divers and the water is Crystal Clear. You should get a hold of them. Any of the springs to the north of Tampa would be good for checkouts. You could do Hudson Grotto for that matter. You would just need to stay shallow.

Thats great for north FL folks, but for me thats a 4 hour drive and completely not worth it. It makes going for a quick dip into an all day affair.

I'll be looking further into the where my Kermit was removed and see what I can do to open that up officially and not just a parking-lot with a closed resturant.

They shut down all access to that lake. Everything is stripped from it now. It is all being moved to Lake Tulane..

The owner of the restaurant and lot as well as the orchid entrance have both said they do not want anyone on there property anymore and these are essentially the only two entry points. They apparently told the shop in Sebring they would let them on the Lake one last day to get all the platforms and miscellaneous items out and would call law enforcement if anyone came onto the property after that date Lake Tulane is suppose to be the "New" Lake Denton and where the platforms and other items will be transported to.

It was'nt taken to take it - it was taken along with everything else to be moved to a lake where people will be allowed to dive and can enjoy it..
