Saguaro and Canyon have poor visibility (much less than Pleasant) and depths are fairly limited.
Thanks, that solves me a lot of doubts I had.
Pleasant has about 10 dive spots from the shore and a bunch more from boat. Check out the Scubateers or the Diver Down II for more options.
Thanks again.
Maybe I'll do so.
Salt River is great diving. Lots of buried treasure out there from the river dawgs.
Done it.
Treasure Hunting is nice.
However I need something which is more easier for my wife.
Fighting against current is not her favorite.
Mohave is a great option. Incredible visibility (for a lake) and has good depth. Sunken van, bus and two boats are a big plus.
That's a good one.
I heard about the the sunken stuff there.
It's nice of you to mension the height differences (plays an important role in Deco time).
4 hours drive...:doh2:
I don't know...
Maybe better to jump to Catalina/San Diego (another 1-2 hours).
By the way, I know Lake Mid is also far, but compare to Mohave- Which one is better ? (I know that there's sunken B-29 there. Unfortunately I'll not be able to do it with my wife as well, although I have a Tec certification as well).
Colorado River (near Mohave) is a good river option. Be careful of boat traffic when diving.
Colorado River is an option, just I don't know the difference between Colorado River & Salt River...
You see... driving so much for a river diving
doesn't look to me that fun.
But again... it's an option.
Diving Mohave area has altitude considerations. Make sure you understand the ramifications of the 4000 foot increase in altitude. Anyone trying to dive Mohave (especially as a day trip) should be cautious. Mohave is a 3 to 4 hour drive from Phx.
Yup... we've spoke about it already.
Rocky Point is a decent option for day trip. RP is a 3 to 4 hour drive from PHX. Sun N Fun and Lea Rubeck offer reliable charters out of RP. Can be a bit expensive. Two Tank Boat Dives run over $100. There is some limited shore diving in the area. Check in with Sun N Fun as they have a good map for sites and can help you pick dive times according to the tides. Don't shore dive RP without some good local knowledge.
Heard lot about RP. Will try it soon.
These are your Day Trip options. If you are looking overnight, it opens up a lot of possibilities with San Diego, Long Beach/LA.
Multiple night options include Catalina and San Carlos.
Yup
that's the best option, but not that close to Phoenix area.
Done it before & will try it again.
Thank you so much for the information.
