Certain fresh water dives are at best, hurting. The reason Littlerock Dam was ran in a webpage story was for those that, love diving, during a tsunami warning have another place to dive. And those that appreciate a new an totally cool fresh water dive just for some alternative when ****'s hitting the fan at the Pacific shores. I too, love all pacific diving. This post wasn't intended to get anyone realigned for "only" fresh water appreciation. But if there's any kids out there that want to expand in the scuba realm, here's one place you won't come back with negative reports (not talking about you fnfalman, keep diving the pacific, sounds like you've maxed out your freshwater dive interest in the world!) Me? I just got back from there and it isn't anything less than what the hardcorediveteam.com and CaliforniaDiver.com carried. Like being a skydiver, there's more places to jump than just Elsinore, and Parris!! I've only been diving serious California Coastal and Island bodies of water for 12 years. Yep just a new kid on the block! Still the only sharks I"ve seen (I don't bait them) is the tiny horned and swell sharks and the rays! But I tell all the girls that I dive with 20 ft great whites to seem more bad ass! This post was only a mere suggestion to expand the diving oportunities in a very very select group. Not the super conditioned!! And spoiled!! Like me! Anyway before you fnfalman list the massive fresh water sites you've been at, (which is sustantial!) try the Dam and then repost! There's an explosion of largemouth bass that's never been seen before. OR go out on the commercial recreational dive boats and have fun!

And one thing that is pretty cool, this is a place in Los Angeles County, alot of southern Californians call that home. Go diving, Have fun, No Excuses, Get Your Ass Into the Water!! No complaints!!

Don, what is really different about this one dive site is the upper warm water level is very similar to a spring green algae bloom in our pacific. Yes below that is darker than coal black but clear and cold column that runs to any depth that holds old trees and things that appear as a ghost! It is weird! But quite calming as the transitions blend into one another that has no major water movement, you want to be warmer ascend. You want a complete NIGHT dive during noon on a bright sunny day, drop down below 30 in 30 seconds and you are in total non moon/star/bioluminescense lit water. Only your lantern will give light. I love that!
