Hi Pete, If you are coming to Colorado then you must dive Cozumel or Rotan, unless people still trying to say that these are not our local dive spots . In the local area uless you are desperate to get wet go stand in a closet with the lights off looks basicly the same as Aroura Res. Sorry. Turquoise lake at Leadville if you are here soon enough before it freezes. That only a two hour drive away and 10,000 ft elevation.

So I take it the region's not a dive mecca?

Looks like I won't be making the trip after all, the supplier is coming here to demo the equipment instead.

Thanks,
Pete

Well, it's a diver's mecca. More certified divers here per capita than anywhere else in the US. Several good, strong LDSs even. But for local diving?

The oft-repeated joke when someone hears the above stat and asks where we go to dive around here is: "Well, first you drive to the airport..."

There are a few of us who do dive the lakes around here.
Cold water, low viz and muddy bottoms but we are underwater. :scubadive
