Lacolombiana - 7/23/2016 10:46 AM Rating Added: 3 This was one of the first dives I did after becoming open water certified and it kicked my butt. I learned a lot from this dive though. I can’t wait to do it again to redeem myself!

GreggS - 11/30/2014 8:11 AM Rating Added: 4 Really nice year round dive site, but especially in the winter when most dive areas in the Carolinas are closed. Lots of fun but will give you a good workout. Water temp on day of dive (11.29.14) was in the upper 70s, air temp on first dive mid 40s. Chartered with Lake Jocassee Dive Shop. Nice, roomy, enclosed, and heated pontoon boat makes for a really enjoyable day of diving.

ChuckJeter - 7/03/2014 8:59 PM Rating Added: 4 This makes a great dive in the Winter. The warm water draws lots of aquatic life and dropping over the wall to ride the current coming from the power plant water outlet is a great ride.
