About This Dive Spot
Homestead Crater is a geothermal spring located in the Wasatch Mountains. The crater was formed by melting snow that seeped deep into the earth, where it was heated two miles below the surface. As the water rose, it absorbed minerals, which were deposited at the surface. The water temperature remains consistently between 90 and 96 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no wildlife present in the crater. Divers must make reservations in advance to access the site.
