Dive-site story
Lake Denton is a spring-fed freshwater lake in Highlands County, Florida, widely used for diver training and local checkouts. Divers enter directly from the white sand beach into clear shallows that gradually slope into a darker basin. Sunken attractions, including small boats and submerged training platforms, are connected by guide lines anchored across the bottom.
