This is a very unique experience that I won't soon forget. Pricey so may be a one time experience,…read morebut if you are reconsidering it... I say do it once! They say that over 10,000 years ago the Homestead Crater was formed when melting snow along the Wasatch Mountains mixed with heated geothermal hot springs 2 miles below the earths surface started spewing out water and picking up minerals such as limestone which were then deposited above the earths surface forming a volcano or "beehive" like formation. A Swiss settler discovered it in the late 1800's and named it a hot pot. Originally visitors had to be lowered into it via cable. As of the mid 1990's there is now access via a tunnel. We of course had to check it out and I'm so glad we got to experience it and learn about the history. It wasn't as hot as I had expected it to be, and while I initially thought 50 min was not enough of an experience, it most certainly was.

What a cool experience to bring my OOT family to go see. I wanted to go to the hot springs, but I…read morehad never been to them. I asked my sister if she wanted to go when they came out here for Christmas, and I had her help me choose where to go. I polled friends, and then I had her choose. She chose the Homestead Crater, and she wasn't disappointed! It isn't too interesting in terms of things to look at, but getting to swim in a hot spring in a Crater, on Christmas Eve no less, made it a cool experience for family from Virginia. The water reflected was pretty blue-ish, which reminded me of a lagoon (like in The Little Mermaid ). I loved hearing of the history of the cave, how it was formed, and the minerals in the water. The water was perfect for a cold day. There are a few stalls, built into the cave wall for changing. The time changing is included in the 1 hour time slot you pay for. The staff was nice and knowledgeable. You do have to wear a life vest, which is provided at the Crater. There are also a couple of places you can sit, like the shallow end of a pool, if you don't want to "swim." Scuba diving is an option, for a little extra. Apparently some of my friends certified there for their scuba certifications. We hope to come back again soon!

But the highlight of my experience had to be getting certified with Ivan Hartle. If you are un-sure you could do SCUBA, take a class with Ivan.

The gear sold at The Scuba Dive is high quality, and the staff is so helpful that I couldn't imagine going to another shop. Definitely check them out, you won't regret it.

Then they took three weeks to service it again and acted like they did me a favor not charging me lol. Not like I was left stranded in Roatan without and octo/inflator or anything. THEN Book a DRYSUIT course and they change the dates 3 times the week of and then come at me salty when I couldn't make the final last minute date change. Then they didn't even refund me hahaha. Literally their trips are insanely overpriced btw. The attitude they gave me because THEY couldn't get their DRYSUIT instructor to stick to one date was laughable. I work in a business where it's not so easy to just keep changing and am shocked they stay in business treating people this way. Go anywhere else. Ps here is the shot attached showing the ss1 failing at depth.

We had a great time certifying and Chad, the owner and instructor, was a pleasure to work with. He was patient with my children and very attentive, fun and entertaining to be around. I have since registered for additional classes with Timpanogus Scuba and look forward to going further with my scuba education. Chad has went out of his way multiple times to help me achieve my goals in scuba diving since certification and even took me and my son sailing when one of the dives ended up bombing out through fault of my own (left my weights behind at the dive shop on accident). I don't give a lot of reviews but in this case I feel compelled to tell people what a great company Timpanogus Scuba and it's owner is. From what I have seen thus far Chad cares about people above his personal interests and that is rare to find these days. Give Timpanogus Scuba a shot if you get the chance. You will not be disappointed.

John was my instructor and Becky helped him and I have absolutely found a new passion. Laurie also has this place stacked with all the things you could ever need for diving and she is honest and upfront about the products, how they assist divers of various levels, and I have seen her help clients who have come in with gear from other locations and try to help them out.

This shop carries everything you need to be successful and the staff are extremely helpful in finding the right fit for you personally.
