Best for intermediate divers, 2-12m, shore & boat entry, mild current.
The Wall at Lake Keowee is a freshwater dive site defined by a dramatic drop-off that descends from 2 metres to a maximum depth of 21 metres. Featuring both natural wall topography and artificial reef structures, the site offers straightforward navigation for intermediate divers. Conditions include mild currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 15 metres. Divers should note the presence of a thermocline, which causes water temperatures to drop significantly at greater depths. Shore and boat entries are both viable, though shore entries require caution as the shallows near the drop-off can be slippery. On-site facilities include toilets and gear storage for rinsing and stowing equipment.

Shore entry works well here, so a boat is not required, but scout the entry point before suiting up as the shallows can be slippery near the drop-off edge. Gear storage on site means you can rinse and stow equipment without returning to your vehicle.
