Best for beginner divers, 8m, shore entry.
288 Lake is a shore-entry freshwater site featuring an artificial reef structure. The site maintains a consistent depth of 8 metres and is suitable for beginners due to the lack of current. Visibility is variable, ranging from 1 to 5 metres, which requires divers to maintain close contact with their buddy and navigate using the reef structures. Due to the potential for low visibility and the presence of artificial structures, divers should monitor their equipment closely to avoid entanglement. The site supports a variety of freshwater fish and invertebrates typical of this habitat. Always check locally before visiting to confirm current facility availability.
