Extra Info for everyone new to this dive:
  • If this is your first visit to Paradise, you'll be required to watch the intro video (about 5 mins.).
  • There are no equipment rentals/sales and no air available here.
  • You must have at least one flashlight for the entire dive since this is in an overhead environment.  Two flashlights are highly recommended.
  • Getting there - You will be driving on "roads with no name".  Once you cross over-top of the railroad tracks (then go right & then quick left), you'll be driving on a one-lane sand road.  If you get to the gate early, just wait over by the side, the gate won't open until 8:00a so it's not necessary to get there too early.  Once you're at the house, pull in and park next to the horse pasture on your right.  After you pay & complete paperwork, you'll literally wait for the horse pasture gate to be opened and drive through.  This is a very rustic site but there is a bathroom.

This is one of my favorite dive spots in the area!!!  Going to be a great dive!  :)
