About Ronnie’s Cove
Ronnie's Cove is a boat-access freshwater dive on Lake Alan Henry with slightly better visibility than the rest of the reservoir. It is best treated as a straightforward lake outing: limited clarity, simple structure, and typical Texas warmwater fish such as bass, catfish, and perch. The site suits divers who want a no-frills freshwater cove rather than a scenery-heavy dive.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A simple boat-access freshwater dive that works well for practice, easy exploration, and fish watching.
Freediving
Only a backup option for very comfortable freedivers; the site is better suited to scuba because visibility is limited and the cove is boat-only.
