Dive buddy in Arizona

[Fox55]

I'm right smack dab in the middle of the state prescott. looking for somebody that be interested in doing some exploring down in Mexico I've been to San Carlos but there's a few places in between that sound like they might be interesting or even heading over to the Baja.

Cool me and two other guy's go out to Pleasant all summer

Hello all - im in N. central Phoenix, just started spearfishing at Lake Pleasant now that is hot. Would love to head out there with you guys. Let me know!

[ToddGatesh]

I really don't dive much in July through Sept. Northern Gulf water too hot.
Summer is the time to go to La Paz. I'll skip June probably this year and I'll be in Alaska in July.

Ya I'll be diving here

Hey guys, I've been to San Carlos many times, just got back from our annual two weeks spearfishing trip to San Carlos . Some questions - we mostly go there last weeks of June but water is getting hotter each year so I'm thinking to move it to different time for next year. Any suggestions for good weather when wetsuit is still not required? Any of you spearfish in az lakes? I'm living in Scottsdale.. I have couple of good places in rocky point I can share, but visibility and current is much worse than in San Carlos

I like spring break in San Carlos need a 3 mil wetsuit though. Just got back from Lake Pleasant on Saturday and I think season is pretty much done for until maybe end of August September right now I couldn't even see the end of my spear gun. Yeah once the water gets warm in San Carlos the fish go deeper and the visibility drops

[azdiver]

Ok, thanks for the info

I’d love to know more about Lake Pleasant and any other local lakes. I’ve never trekked down to San Carlos and would be up for a trip sometime.

Well with Lake Pleasant the southeast side is more Rocky and has generally better visibility. In the early spring most all the lake has great visibility but as summer rolls around and the water temperature gets too warm and the whole lake goes green. Haven't drove any other Lakes around the state

Anyone interested in diving soon at lake pleasant before the summer is in full effect?? Again, I’m a newbie and would love to get out with someone who knows what they’re doing. It’d be greatly appreciated if someone would like to meet up sometime and show me the ropes . Let me know
