Mine Shaft #1
Deep Lake Mohave mine-shaft dive with artifacts and sparse fish life.
Local operator required
Mine Shaft #1 is typically handled through local Lake Mohave dive logistics and should be treated as a guided overhead dive.
Best for experienced divers who want a vertical freshwater shaft, careful orientation, and a few bass, carp, and catfish on the descent.
About Mine Shaft #1
Mine Shaft #1 is a deep Lake Mohave mine-shaft dive between Katherine's Landing and Cabin Site, with artifacts, fencing, and concrete foundations around the opening. The shaft drops from a broad top opening into a much deeper vertical system, so the experience is more about depth control and careful orientation than about fish watching. Plan it as an overhead environment for experienced divers.
