    The Homestead Crater - Details

    The 'deep' dive was our first dive that day. PADI dive centers in the rocky mountain region have been using Homestead for years for AOW and even Rescue diver for years. We also did a night dive there at 6:30 am before they turned the lights on.

    The Homestead Crater - Details

    My wife, son, and I did our AOW open water dives there, including the "deep" dive to around 55 feet in January several years ago. Agree with the above posts regarding silt if have poor control -- not a good way to make friends! It is hard to find a better place to do a dive, be toasty warm...

    You are PADI Certified and now what.....and if you live in the center of USA ?

    Concur with the others from Colorado. We also like Key Largo -- it is easy to get to. Also, search for Homestead scuba on YouTube if you want to get an idea of what it looks like -- lots of great vids. The vis is not great but a lot of fun esp during a snow storm when you are in 92 F degree...

    recommendations for KI or Adelaide this March / April 2010?

    Thank you! We found the web sites for 'Kangaroo Island Diving Safaris' & 'Kangaroo Island Dive and Adventures' -- will likely go with them for at least one shore dive on KI and to rent gear for others. There does not seem to be any other shops on KI. We intend to dive at Rapid Bay Jetty...

    Will anyone be at Aurora this week ?

    My wife and I are new to diving (OW and Nitrox this year, plus 4 dives in Mauii), but we are interested in diving in the Denver / Aurora area as well. Are there any groups or clubs that periodically dive at Chatfield, Aurora, or other locations that are willing to have some new divers join in...
