Bonneville Seabase is your in-land source for Utah SCUBA diving and snorkeling. This geothermally heated, salt water, high altitude mini ocean with colorful marine tropical fish is the only one of its kind for SCUBA, snorkeling, and dive training. Whether you are feeding the beautiful French angel fish or observing the docile nurse sharks, you'll never believe you are in the middle of Utah.

Dive in Utah-all year,
with tropical marine fish
Spring is here, and it is nice!! It is no longer wetsuit diving time, unless you are a wimp like me-most people are using shorty suits or 3 ml long wetsuits- Currently, the "vis" in White Rocks and Habitat Bay is at least 6-7 feet. The fish are being active, and the sharks still hang out where the warmer water flows in on the botttom of the ponds.
In the Abyss, vis is between 6 to 8 feet. There are some bangai cardinal fish, one argus fish, a porkfish, and a few angels and mollies swimming near the platforms, and...because it is so deep and not very wide, it is much warmer. White Rock Bay has thousands of fish and that is where the two large nurse sharks tend to hang around.
Habitat bay has the "ship" wreck and platforms and the underwater air filled "habitat" for SCUBA divers to enter and talk to each other, 15 feet down. (the habitat is not allowed for snorkelers)-. The huge crevalle jacks are swimming around the habitat now, putting on a show..
There was an article about Seabase in the New York Times on the 28th of November-I found it by "Googling" New York Times Seabase, and it came right up.
