Shore entry into a nonmotorized quarry lake with training platforms, underwater roads, and a deep basin that rewards buoyancy control.

About Wazee Lake

Wazee Lake is a deep quarry lake with shore access, clear freshwater, and roads, boulders, and platforms left from the mine. Divers come for the submerged forest, artifacts, and the unusually clear water that makes the basin easy to read. The nonmotorized lake and park system keep the surface calm and the logistics straightforward.

Local Intel For Wazee Lake

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba Diving

Follow the quarry roads, sheer faces, platforms, and submerged forest around the basin, with simple shore access and room for both training and deeper exploration.

Freediving

Not a freedive-first site. The depth and quarry layout suit scuba planning better than casual breath-hold sessions.

Snorkeling

Surface-only time is limited; Wazee is built for scuba and structured lake diving rather than casual snorkelling.
