Dive-site story
Cabinsite Cove sits on the Arizona side of Lake Mohave near Katherine Landing, serving as a primary freshwater training and recreational dive site along the Colorado River basin. The cove provides easy shore access from a gently sloping gravel beach into calm water sheltered from main-channel boat traffic. Submerged topography features a mix of silt flats, submerged desert vegetation, rock formations, and several intentionally sunk training objects including small boat hulls and training platforms.
