Boat-taxi drift dive on the Rainbow River with clear water, strict park rules, and constant flag and traffic awareness.
About KP Hole Park
KP Hole Park is the staging point for a spring-fed Rainbow River drift dive, where divers ride a water taxi upriver and drift back through clear, shallow water and grass beds. The shallow run makes it a good recreational outing for newer divers, but the river is busy, so no-wake rules, dive flags, and boat awareness are part of the routine.

A relaxed drift dive with a flag, a water-taxi start, and easy navigation along the grass beds.
