Athens Scuba Park
The Park was dreamed up out of my love for scuba diving. The spring-fed warm waters boast average visibility of 35 ft that can peak at 70ft. The lake’s depth is from 20 to 35 feet with the park facilities designed for maximum safety & enjoyment for divers. 12 docks were built along the shore and shaded pavilions for sun & rain protection, hot/cold showers w/ shampoo & conditioner in the bathhouse, camping areas for all size groups along with a full-service dive shop. And for ambiance, torches that line the lake at night.
“Our joy is to provide you with a safe relaxing environment to train in, as well as a peaceful & pleasant haven for a weekend escape from the city.”
