Dive-site story
Sanders Beach provides accessible shore diving along the eastern shoulder of Tubbs Hill in Lake Coeur d'Alene. Divers enter over a gentle sandy flat before the bottom transitions into silt, gravel patches, and submerged woody debris. The site is frequently utilized for training, navigation exercises, and casual bottle hunting along old lakefront recreation zones.
