Once the runoff settles out the vis will improve. PK is one of my favorite places to dive when conditions are good.
The best diving is along the wall, down Frank Harris Bend between Scuba Point and the Bend. Around MM 11 to 14 the wall diving is excellent.
Around Frank Harris Bend toward the dam, you can slip into Governer's Cove. Usually completely unspoiled the vis is great and the fish abundant. Do not head toward the Morris Sheppard dam and the buoyed off area, rather stay in the cove and the entrance. Depths can reach 100' at the entrance. Peek into the many small caves and see some pretty big cats.
On the other side opposite FH Bend, is Neely Slough. Not much to see but there are some big rocks and lots of fish.
Head back around Gaines Bend (opposite Scuba Point) and you'll find Hell's Gate in the base of Johnson Bend. You can make an underwater circuit of the island if you plan your dive well and have good air management. Back in the 70's you could climb the rocks and jump off the cliff, but not anymore...at least you're not "supposed" to.
And of course there's Scuba Point, the only easily accessible shore dive. Normally the dropoff starts at 11' where vis is 3-5'. The first ledge is at 35' and vis should be 8-10'. The next ledge at 45' through a thermocline, then the second thermocline as the wall slopes gently in and hits the silt at 80'. It is very dark and very cold down there, so full suit/hood/gloves plus lights is needed. The bonus: I've seen vis open up down there to 20'+! A great dive if you go to the left (facing the lake, right facing the wall) as the wall winds around and in, under some old trees and such. To the left (facing the lake) is wall diving, to the right (piers and boat ramp) its more of a rocky slope. There's an old truck there, some trash, etc.
Good diving at PK when the lake cooperates. You can rent a big pontoon boat for the day for $400 and dive all over the place. (get 10 Swampers to go in together and it's $40 each)
