Dive Sites in Nevada, United States

The designated shore-diving area at North Boulder Beach in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the standard checkout and training spot for Las Vegas divers. Easy entry from the beach with a gentle slope; visibility varies with lake conditions.

A WWII-era B-29 bomber that ditched in 1948 while testing a secret sun-tracking instrument, now resting remarkably intact on the floor of Lake Mead's Overton Arm at roughly 95-125 ft depending on lake level. It is a protected cultural resource diveable only on guided trips by NPS-authorized operators, with cold, dark water and 30-50 ft visibility.

An easy beach entry at the south end of the Cave Rock launch area on Tahoe's east shore, with sandy shallows giving way to fish-attracting rocky reef in the 10-15 ft range and deeper sand reachable at 75 ft after a long swim. Beginner-friendly, open year-round, but busy with boat traffic in summer — a dive flag is required by Nevada law.

A protected cove in Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, 5 miles south of Incline Village, with granite boulder fields, a buoyancy-control obstacle course, and a small sunken barge at an average depth of about 30 ft. The adjacent Sand Point side offers rocky walls and sand stretches down to roughly 50 ft, making it a favorite for training and easy shore dives.
