Nevada

Another the best dive site in the United States is Nevada. Even though Nevada is in the middle of the desert, you will be pleasantly surprised to hear it's a great place to enjoy fantastic scuba diving. Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which includes Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, is a unique freshwater lake located 35 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Natural stone rises from the depths of the teal water whilst shipwrecks slump on the silt bottom. Largemouth Black Bass, Striped Bass, Channel Catfish, Bluegill, Sunfish, and Shad are easy to spot here. The Bluegill swim in large schools and nibble on the cracked mussels.

The lake also has plenty of historic landmarks that only scuba divers can visit: the remains of the construction project that built the Hoover Dam, including cement tunnels and railroad tracks is popular amounts divers. The crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada mountains offer high-altitude diving, sunken wrecks, and freshwater aquatic life.
