Dive season is upon us. Yellowtail Dam (Big Horn National Recreation area) is a favorite destinaton for the local divers. In the past few years the level of the lake was extremely low. So low that in some areas of the lake, they were unable to launch boats. This year is a different story. The lake is nearly full and the boat ramps is in great shape. (click here for current data)
The visablity is still pretty good- not as good as it was earlier this spring, but still worth the dip. The ideal way to dive the lake is from a boat. This gets you away from boat traffic. The lake has several coves that you can tuck you boat into. Some of these coves have mooring bouys to tie off to. Water temp is in the mid-fifties - a 7mm wet suit or dry suit would be great.
