Mohave is often better than Mead (not counting the B29). - better viz. Mead was really impacted by the drought - one year you could walk to the dive park.
Rob Neto used to maintain a website on diveable AZ lakes but moved to FL years ago, it's not updated.

We have a cabin in Elk Park so I've checked out nearby lakes - none seem worth getting wet, I considered Woods Canyon Lake but I think it's too shallow and weedy now.
Been to San Carlos? It;s our summer/fall warm water diving. I've dove there in a t-shirt as late as mid-Oct. El Mar in Mesa keeps a nice dive boat there. Twice a year they charter a bus, monthly they carpool.
Gary's Diving there has a small flee also.

From here it's about a 8hr drive - depending on the border crossing. I've also flown - into Guymas - met my friends there - $20 cab ride. Marina Terra is a decent hotel and on the marina the dive boats all leave from.
If the shops get it right, they go down for the Scallopped Hammerhead migration in mid-Oct. Miss it by a week and they're gone though. Most boats go to San Pedro Is. - not a lot of coral but there is a sea lion colony there - they'll be in the water b4 you are. It's a lot of fun.
There;s Rocky Point a couple hours closer but the tidal exchange that far up in the Gulf makes that mostly cloudy. There is one shop there now and they boat dive out to Bird Island. A guide there used to run the Flagstaff office for Scuba Sciences b4 they closed.
