Fundamental Scuba

Sandhollow Reservoir is one of my favorite places to scuba dive in Utah!

Sandhollow Reservoir located within the Sandhollow Utah State Park, in Hurricane UT. Sandhollow is surrounded by the iconic red rock formations that Southern Utah is known for. This dessert oasis has soft red sand beaches and emerald green water. The Reservoir is relatively warm staying within the 80s between May and September. There is an area marked specifically for scuba diving within the lake, which is open year round! This is great, because; you don't have to worry about boats zooming over your head!

Once in the water there is so much to explore! Sunken in the lake there is a Volkswagen bus, a Cessna 310 twin-engine airplane, an obstacle course, a small boat, and lots of other cool things. There is so much to see in this diving spot you might not see it all on one tank of air. No worries though, just on shore there is a dive shack that provides air refills and gear.

Things to know:
A day-use entry fee is required, buy in-person or online. The Annual Utah State Park Pass is accepted for park entry.
Some people may experience Swimmer's Itch from the water. But you should be good if you stay away from the trees that are growing in the water and don’t kick up too much sand..
The park is open year round

As long as I can remember, I’ve always loved the ocean.

On a whim (during finals week at UVU), I booked a trip to an island in Thailand. On my first dive with PADI instructors, in the ocean of Thailand, there was a moment where I was entirely surrounded by a school of majestic fish. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I spent the next few months scuba diving in the ocean every moment I could.

I work with a local scuba diving company called The Scuba Dive, I am an instructor there. I enjoy teaching people the basics of scuba diving, and taking trips to the ocean. People are always welcome to schedule a scuba diving pool session just to try it out. My favorite part of the job is going on adventures with such amazing clients and doing amazing dives. If you want to do a fun scuba dive, contact me. I would love to be your instructor!
