Desert Tortoise
About Desert Tortoise
An easy freshwater dive site with gently sloping terrain, making it well suited to newer open water divers and training classes. The bottom profile stays relatively shallow as it doesn’t drop off quickly. Divers can expect to encounter common freshwater species throughout most of the year, including catfish, perch, bass, and carp, along with crayfish.
