Blue Lake

 Blue Lake is a small lake fed by hot springs located in the salt flats of Utah.  It maintains approximately the same temperature year round, so it can be dove during any season.  This is a popular spot for performing open water certifications, so expect a crowd on Saturdays.  Other days can be a bit quieter.bluelake1.JPG (25493 bytes)

    There are quite a few things built up in this lake to support the certifications of divers.  There are two separate platforms located in the lake, as well as a variety of things to find.
