Dive Spot Guide•
Dive Site 5
Dive Site 5 is a shallow training cove with obstacles
Shore access, line-set obstacles, and poor visibility make Dive Site 5 a controlled practice site rather than a long sightseeing dive.
About Dive Site 5
Dive Site 5 is Lake Havasu's most popular training cove, built around a platform, beach access, and line-set obstacles. Underwater, the course centers on three boats plus a submarine, truck, and other practice features, so it works better as a controlled skills dive than as a scenic run. Expect very low visibility and a lake site that rewards close navigation, buoyancy control, and short feature-by-feature movement.

Dive Site 5 Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
7.6m
Depth Note
The source material gives an average around 25 ft rather than a full range, so the structured depth is treated as a point estimate for the training feature cluster.
Best Season
Year-round, with the easiest comfort in late spring through early fall.
Typical Conditions
Sheltered cove conditions, very low visibility, and little current; line-following matters more than depth.

Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Low visibility
Safety Notes
Very limited visibility (about 5 ft) can make navigation and buddy contact more difficult.
Access Restrictions
The main limitation is low visibility and a training-course layout, so close-range navigation matters more than depth.
Legal Notes
Use the designated site and follow local lake rules; nearby special-use areas such as the Bridgewater Channel require permits.
