Dive-site story
Situated along the Arizona shoreline of Lake Mead just upstream from Hoover Dam, Kingman Wash provides convenient vehicle access directly to the water. The bottom consists of gravel and silty slopes dotted with sunken training props, tire reefs, and small boat hulls. Divers commonly use the sheltered cove for checkout dives, navigation exercises, and nocturnal explorations.
Submerged training platforms, small boat hulls, and artificial debris scattered along the slope
