Divers will travel far and wide to find the best diving. But those who live in the United States have plenty of great diving on their doorstep as well, with plentiful access to the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. From warm-water reefs to temperate seas, here are some of the top places to scuba dive in the United States.

Gradually slopes out toward the lake, and depth here depends on the time of year and recent water trends (I have seen this place exposed before). Some downed trees and cage looking plant skeletons. Lots of rocks, a few small fish, and a few bottles/cans here and there. Not a whole lot to see. At 25 feet or so it gets fairly dark when a cloud blocks the sun. Towards the end of the dive the wind picked up pretty bad (35mph or so) and visibility dropped to around 2-3 feet and had to hold hands with buddy to navigate back toward entry point. A lot of boat traffic in this area, and despite a big yellow float and a flag I still had a Jet Ski shoot right over us twice! No noticeable thermocline while we were there. Water was about 65F and we were comfortable in 7mm wetsuits, no gloves or hoods. 

Parking area very near, walk in access.
