Diving and Camping Weekends at Lake Phoenix

Join the Submerged family for a fun weekends of diving and camping. Lake Phoenix is a rock quarry that is perfectly set up for scuba divers. There are numerous features to swim to, lots of platforms to use as a visual reference while practicing skills, decent visibility, loads of bass, and a dive shop on site for fills and other basic supplies.

We like to use Lake Phoenix for classes and skills practice because of the relatively warm water and good visibility. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but it's always a good time with the group. We have a handful of "regulars" who are always happy to welcome more divers, regardless of experience level. We all just like to do what we love with fun people!

Lake Phoenix also has camping on site, which is super convenient, and adds another whole dimension of fun to the experience.

Do more than just blow bubbles! We also offer skills workshops, classes, and guided dives on these weekends. So if you have something in particular you need some help with, a skill you want to hone, or something new you want to learn, this this is the perfect
