The main scuba spot on Lake Lanier near Buford Dam, with two diveable areas known locally as Mask Cove and Divers Cove. The training cove is closed to boat traffic, with a hazard buoy in about 25 ft of water and a pair of large concrete blocks to navigate to. Atlanta-area shops use it constantly for open water checkouts, rescue scenarios and DPV/drysuit training; visibility is low and the water cold below the thermocline.
