The Lake Mead Dive Park is located on the south side of the dike leading to Pyramid Island, Dive Park 1.JPG (152646 bytes) adjacent to Lake Mead Marina.  The image to the left was taken from Pyramid Island while facing southwest. The dive area includes waters inside the special marker buoys that extend from Pyramid Island south to the northern end of Boulder Beach (not shown on image).  

Dive Park A 1.JPG (153230 bytes) The park includes several sunken boats, a pick-up cab and three lengths of 48" concrete conduit laid end to end to form a "tunnel."  There is a mooring buoy next to a sunken sailboat.  Most of the objects in place at the dive park are marked by yellow buoys. Diver access is by boat or by shore entry near the beach end of the dike.  Because the lake elevation is continuously changing, a long surface swim may be necessary to reach many of the dive parks' offerings.

Lake Mead Marina 1.JPG (121043 bytes)Lake Mead Marina lies on the north side of the dike and offers boat rentals, a launch ramp, courtesy docks, a restaurant, fuel dock and a store. If you don't need the services a marina offers, Hemenway Harbor, located a few miles to the south, offers a boat launch ramp with ample vehicle parking. Both of these locations are close to most of the dive sites referenced on this web.
