An old hot spring provides a fun and inexpensive dive for beginners and advanced alike.  It is a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock that nature has hollowed out and filled with 90' to 96' crystal-clear mineral water.  The Homestead Crater is the only warm water scuba diving destination in the continental US and it attracts many diving enthusiasts and those wishing to get certified in a comfortable environment.  The hole in the top of the dome lets in light while keeping in the heat.  You can dive this year-round and it is a popular place for scuba classes and in-water certification.

Homestead Crater is located in Midway, Utah, just outside Park City.
