Sounds like your the proper person to get a hold of when i move to vegas next monthLake Mead Tony:Living in Las Vegas, I log about 50 dives a year in Lake Mead. It's great for deep dives with lot's of wrecks and great wall diving. The best time of the year is in the late fall or winter when the vis can be as much as 150 feet. For a inland lake that is considered very good. Have boat, will dive!

Lake Mead Tony:You can contack Blue Seas Scuba Center at 702-367-2822. There is a charter dive boat that opperates in Lake Mead, but I am not sure when they run during the week. There is a scuba park for shore diving, but vis is not good and normally it is very crowded. If you were going to be here on the weekend I would take you out in my boat and show you the bottom of Lake Mead myself. The water temp is running in the low 60s and last weekend it was 54@ 140ft so don't forget your cold water gear, or a 7mm can be rented at the local dive shops as well as air and nitrox. The other dive shops are, Colorado River Divers at 702-293-6648 (the one I use) , or Great 8 Diving at 702-367-3484. If you are planning on being here for the weekend, let me know. I am at the lake every weekend.

SteveC:My wife and I dove the scuba park in February. We were the only ones there. The vis was about 30', and the temp was 58-62. We wore a 5-4-3 with a hot pack down the front, and were very comfortable.
