Our dive at the Homestead Crater was much warmer and more relaxing than our dive that we did 4 days earlier. The 96 degree mineral water felt wonderful, especially because it was only 38 degrees outside. Although there are no fish in this water there is still plenty to see. Volcanic paterns and unique formations make up the walls of the Crater.
Scott and I had a wonderful time being together with my dad and brother.
The bottom (65') of the Crater is pure silt. If you hover on the bottom (DON'T STIR UP THE SILT!) you can reach though it and feel water on the other side. The Crater is a nice place to go and refresh your skills and just hangout with your buddy. Thank you to my dive buddy who helps me with my heavy tank, and makes sure that I stay safe... I love you honey.
This is a underwater shot. It can be pretty dark at 65 feet.

This is the Crater from the outside. It is open at the top.
Miners in the early 1900's would get lowered down by ropes from the top. (NO THANKS)
Now there is a tunnel that has been blasted into the side where divers can now enter.
