There are multiple spots at Lake Pleasant where you can enjoy diving. Open Water classes from the different dive shops here in the Valley use the West and East side of the lake. Everyone has their own opinion about which side best suit them. I have taken and instructed classes on both sides and I prefer Vista Point on the East side. Vista Point offers a lot of different terrain and underwater sights for you to see instead of just there is more rocks and oh look...more rocks. There is an underwater skeleton table, a wall that runs East to West, a sunken boat and depth. Open water diving all the way up to Tech diving can be completed at this site.
You can dive at Vista Point, Lake Pleasant year round. Currently the visibility is very low at approximately a couple feet. It can range with your visibility at different depths and locations. We o diving year round and it is great despite visibility. The weekends do get SUPER busy. Preferably we go during the week rather than the weekend.
