La Junta Dive Site is a Camp La Junta riverfront training area on the Guadalupe River, built for beginner snorkeling and scuba instruction. The water is shallow in the main section with deeper pockets that let instructors practice entries, basic control, and rescue drills, while river fish and aquatic plants keep it feeling like a real freshwater site rather than a pool.
