Aurora Reservoir (Scuba Beach)

Colorado · 1.5–15.2 m

The Denver metro area's main training dive site, with a dedicated roped-off scuba beach and dive area on the reservoir's eastern shore. The signature attraction is a Cessna twin-engine airplane purpose-sunk in 1994 in about 30 feet of water, marked by a buoy; the silty bottom keeps visibility in the 5-10 ft range. The dive area is open April 1 to October 1, dawn to dusk, and is heavily used for open-water checkouts, navigation, and search-and-recovery practice.

A seasonal WHS mooring buoy marks the site, which is popular with beginner divers, snorkelers and kayakers.

Map of Avalon Dive Park

Avalon Dive Park

California · 3–30.5 m

Casino Point Dive Park (Avalon Underwater Park) is a roughly 2-2.5 acre roped-off, no-take marine reserve beside the landmark Catalina Casino in Avalon, widely regarded as the best shore dive in California. Custom concrete stairs with handrails lead straight into a lush giant kelp forest over reefs, mini-walls and sand flats from 10 to 100 ft, with several small wrecks including the 54-ft sailboat Suejac (bow at ~95 ft), the Kismet, a glass-bottom boat and a sunken swim platform, plus an underwater Jacques Cousteau memorial plaque at about 35 ft. Established in the 1960s as the first non-profit underwater park in the country, its protected status makes the fish unusually bold and the site ideal for everyone from open-water students to photographers.
