Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Lake Denton
There is a SCUBA destination in Lake Denton, Florida. This is where my wife and I completed our open water dives for our certification. The visibility is good and there are a lot of fish to see. It is a favorite of the locals and is busy on Saturday, but Sunday it's less crowded. There are lines on the bottom to help navigate. There are also a couple of sunken dinghies.

This is where I did my check dives. The Blue Gill and Largemouth Bass are very friendly. It is crowded on Saturday, but not as much on Sunday. There is a sunken dinghy and anchored ropes for easy underwater navigation. The lake isn't a spring, so visibility isn't perfect but is pretty good. I have been to 35 feet, however there may be deeper sections. There are no restrooms or showers, so make a pit stop in Avon Park.
