We dove Dale Hollow today in the area of Mitchell Creek. The water temp on the surface was 71 degrees and at 56 feet it was 51 degrees. A little cool but the 7mm suit was just perfect for the job!! Vis was not very good with only about 8-10 ft at best. The best part of today's dive was "dive season has started" !!!!!

How about getting a group together to dive Dale Hallow sometime later in the year? I would love to dive it but have no clue as to where to dive.
 
Thanks for the report.

I am not familiar with the site either.
 
I live about 35 miles south of Dale Hollow and we dive the Hollow alot in the summer. If anyone wants to get a group up and dive the Hollow just let me know when summer gets closer.
 
And you are correct about the dive season.

It has definitely started early here in Ohio.
 
I had a group of buddies rent a houseboat a few years ago for a few days of diving and fishing on Dale Hallow. Sounded like they had a good trip, but air fills were an issue. You'd really need to bring all of tanks you'll need for the trip.
 
Willow Grove Marina fills tanks but they are a little expensive.....$10.00 / tank. There is a store up the hill from Sunset Marina that fills tanks for $8.00/tank but sunset is a long drive from the end of the lake with the good vis. I work 7 days on and have 7 days off. I am usually at the lake 5 out of 7 days that I have off on our pontoon that is docked at Mitchell Creek Marina. They rent houseboats, cabins, pontoons, etc. Check em out online.
