Dive-site story
Formed as mineral-rich geothermal water deposited a hollow limestone dome, Homestead Crater is an inland dive site in the Wasatch Mountains. Divers enter the interior pool through a ground-level tunnel leading to a floating wooden dock under a natural skylight. Geothermal warmth heats the water year-round despite winter snow outside. Suspended platforms hang inside the hourglass-shaped basin to provide staging areas above the soft sediment floor.
