Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Gulliver's Lake
There is a fountain in the middle of the lake ;) There are other items of interest submerged in the lake but I did not have time to investigate since I was with a group getting trained.
Gulliver's Lake RV Resort & Campground approximately 30 minutes NW of downtown Hamilton ON Canada. This is a good location for seasoned and novice divers alike. Many diving schools come here for training and diving. As host of the 2002 Provincial Triathalon, Gulliver's Lake is also a popular training spot for local triathletes. Dive access is walk-in from the shore. Drop off is within a few feet of the shore. There are various submerged platforms @ 15+ feet for practicing skills (e.g., mask clearing and neutral buoyancy). The fine silt/mud bottom can make for poor visibility and sometimes algae also reduces visibility. I saw some small mouth bass from the shore but no fish while diving (Sep 2018).

Did my open water checkout there. Tons of fun (Thanks to John M. Harper!). Quite a few fish but, with a lot of students in the water, the silt gets kicked up pretty easily and viz is next to nil (which is great for compass and underwater navigation practice). Water was quite warm 72 (end of Aug). Most memorable moment: Our underwater graduation ceremony - I've told everyone about it! Thanks for the little extras John(*wink) C-ya on the bottom! Safe Diving everyone!
