Surface temps warm up to the low 70’s midsummer, while water at depth typically stays below the mid 40’s year round.

Several large training platforms, fish cribs, and a diver’s playground are some of the man-made features found in Wazee. With depths in excess of 300 ft., Lake Wazee offers a wide variety of diving from Open Water checkout dives through very advanced technical diving and everything in between.
