Dive Lake Mead

Lake Mead provides some amazing fresh water scuba diving.   Water temperature ranges from the low 50s in the winter to the 80s in the summer months, with depths as deep as 500+ feet.  The shore diving is a little tough, but mostly because Lake Mead's bottom composition is so silty and kicks up so easily.  Get yourself a boat, head into Black Canyon by Hoover Dam, and you've got yourself an amazing dive with sheer walls, shockingly deep depths, bizarre but interesting terrain, wrecks, lots of lost goodies from boaters, and visibility typically around 40-50 feet.
