colo_diver:make it 6......... if you count the western slope
Definitely! I am thinking of the whole Rocky Mountain region. The Western Slope absolutely qualifies, especially since you have started making very good wine in great quantities.

colo_diver:make it 6......... if you count the western slope
boulderjohn:The PM suggested RockyMtnOysters as a name. Any other ideas?
Divedoggie:I think all of us snowbound, landlocked, mountain folks, are jonesing for some diving. I just went to the pool and blew bubbles for no reason other than to have the gear on!
Count me in! :dazzler1:
boulderjohn:I am starting a new thread that may lead to a Rocky Mountain club or just a repository of information about dive locations, etc.
First of all, if you are interested in local diving anywhere in America, you can always go to Dive Training Magazine's map of local dive spots: http://www.dtmag.com/dive-usa/divingusa.html. It has little dive flags to identify locations, and when you click on them, you get a description of that site. Unfortunately, you will find no site descriptions behind the flags in Colorado, confirming the prevailing idea that Homestead Crater in Utah and the Blue Hole in New Mexico are the closest places people actually want to dive. (Both have fine writeups at the DT site.)
I am thinking of two things here.
1. We can start a Rocky Mountain club here if we have ten people say they are interested.
2. If not, we can help each other out by writing reviews in this thread of other locations. I am familiar with Carter Lake, and I will write a review later on as a part of this thread. I hope that people with first hand knowledge of Chatfield Reservoir, Aurora Reservoir, Horsetooth Reservoir, and other sites will do the same. I am hoping for more than a name--something with enough objective information so people can make an informed decision about trying it out.
