Where are the best dive spots near you?
- The Tenkiller Scuba Park in Tenkiller State Park
- Strayhorn Landing
- Crappie Point
- Bluff View
All are easy, shore-diving favorite spots within a 10 minute drive of Gene's Aqua Pro on the south end of Lake Tenkiller
What would you see at the dive site?
- The Tenkiller scuba park has several boats, a plane, a bus, a helicopter and a monument or two to find. When we navigate it in one go, we call it the Grand Tour. Crappie Point and Bluff View include a few platforms, a car, a boat, and great natural bluffs.
When is the best time to dive?
- Early morning diving is great because the lake is the most peaceful. We dive year-round, but late summer into fall is typically the best visibility, some times as good as 20 feet in September and October
Recommended gear for the dive?
- Depends on how warm or cold natured you are, but most divers prefer a 5 mm wetsuit if you're going below 50' due to thermoclines. Many are comfortable in 3 mm's as well. You'll always want a light for the best experience - sometimes it's dark but with a light the vis is great.
How do you get to the dive site?
- We are all about shore dives. If you have a boat, we can point out some good boat-access sites as well.
What is the dive depth and visibility like?
- We typically stay above 70' - most of the scuba park attractions are at 60' or above. Visibility can differ dramatically based on where you're diving and depth. This summer, we're fluctuating between 5-10' with a light in the more popular sites.
How many dives a day can be done?
- How many do you want to make? Because Lake Tenkiller dives rarely go below 70 or 80', you can easily make 3 nice long dives in a day with the aid of a computer.
Who takes the divers out?
- We have awesome PADI Dive Masters willing to take folks out for a dives, as well as plenty of loyal, fun, friendly "regulars" around most weekends that we're happy to plug new local divers in with.
