Tigertail Lake is a supervised freshwater scuba training lake in Dania Beach.
Tigertail Lake is a managed freshwater training lake in Dania Beach with shore access and supervised scuba classes. Divers use it for open-water training and practice around submerged features in calm inland water, so it works better as a training environment than a casual swim or snorkel spot.
