Beautiful place to dive! Lake Hydra has a large variety of different attractions to explore- you could easily spend a few days here so you get to see everything, the visibility was great and lots of different kinds of fish and wildlife to marvel at, also the worth noting that the owners are very welcoming and kind. I look forward to coming back to improve my diving.

Excellent experience at Lake Hydra. Ken and team have done a wonderful job preserving and upgrading this natural resource for the region's Diving community! Amenities include walk-in lake entry via ramp and steps, 28' deep submerged platforms for training, sunken wrecks for navigation and exploration, and a wide variety of species! We're beginners and had very safe and enjoyable open water cert dives here, thank you team Hydra!
