Cons-Rough access road, large rocks on beach, sandy off road. Pros- not overcrowded, easy to paddle board to Hoover Dam We went on a Sunday so there were more people than other days. The parking area does have large rocks to avoid and soft sand that could lead to being stuck. Access to the water is pretty good for paddle boarding. You will need to pack everything out. There is no trash disposal. However along the road in there is a pit toilet. I'm not sure if it's still open, we didn't stop to check. We paddled out to the base of the Dam. There are no beaches between this area and the Dam. We did find a few spots we could basically cling to the rocks for a little break and eat our lunches. However it's very steep and the rocks give way under for easily. We may go again, it wasn't terrible.

Hidden Gem. 3 miles Off Roading. Need 4x4. No trash Cans, pick up after yourself. Beautiful Sand. Water is CLEAN No bugs, No ants, No fly's

The lake
Rosie T.

I love this place! So I came here on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and it will beautiful! driving in though can be rough because it is extremely rocky and a lot of people bring their trailers and campers out here. There's a nice lake as well with mountains surrounding the lake and the water temperature at this time is just right! My dive master, his friend and I came here to scuba dive and although the water was a tad murky, you're still able to see. People bring their dogs here too to take a splash in the lake and if you're lucky, you can see some wild burros as well!! We even saw people fishing and driving their pontoons! This is a great place to take a family trip to or to just drive out and relax and get away from all the lights of the city. I highly recommend it for anyone!

Bon fire
Jackie G.

This place is well off the beaten path but is no stranger to the locals. There had to of been 100 people here, camping, doing fireworks, or like us a Bon fire. The here is a bathroom up the road from the water a bit. It's between two hills so it's not windy and was perfect for a family bonfire and bbq. The road is dirt and gravel so keep that in mind, however, we own a car not a truck and had 0 problems going in or out.

Shoreline

Great free swimming and camping spot 45 minutes from the Strip. No shade, no facilities, bring everything. Rough road in, regular cars can make it but 4x4 better

He's very patient and knowledgeable and was so accommodating of our schedules to get our dives done even when a couple of guys needed to meet at different times. He's a true professional - exactly what you want when you're learning scuba! He also has a ton of gear for divers of all sizes and a great crew helping him!

Spring 2015 I obtained my PADI advanced open water certification with Scott. The instruction I…read morereceived from Scott was easy to understand and he was very patient. I found him to be very knowledgable and I felt safe while completing all my certification requirements with him. Even when I have questions "after hours" or need advice on equipment or anything else Scuba related, he's always been available to help me out without making me feel like I was being a bother. Also when I was researching pricing for other lessons, I found him to be among most reasonably priced. Since obtaining my certification, I've been invited on and I have since gone on several dive trips with Scott and other divers that he knows. Each time I've had a great time. You can tell Scott really enjoys scuba diving and has a passion for it. That combined with his knowledge and patient teaching practices is why I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for lessons.i

Having a short timeframe (about 3 weeks) to complete my PADI Open Water Diver Certification, I had…read morea hard time finding a dive shop/instructor who could make it happen on my timeline. Lucky for me, Doug picked up the first call I made, and within a day, I was learning SCUBA via the PADI Online Course. The online course is great whether you want to take it slow and memorize everything (like I ended up doing) or quickly complete it before your vacation (while still learning, it emphasizes the important information to memorize via frequent quizzes). On to the dives: Doug and Julie host the confined water dives in their backyard pool and provide all the gear you need, though I highly recommend getting a mask/snorkel/boots/fins that FIT YOU. It's a worthwhile investment. Doug did an amazing job catering the confined dive to one of the students who had anxiety while keeping myself and another student practicing valuable skills. We were able to finish the confined dive material in one session! The open water dives were all completed at Kingman Wash at Lake Mead. If you don't have a vehicle with 4x4/AWD, fear not, the road is drivable. I saw a Mustang make it. The visibility was poor due to summertime algae blooms, but I never feared Doug or Julie would lose sight of our group, they watched and lead us like top-tier instructors. The dive platforms we used for underwater skills were great for establishing neutral buoyancy and practicing the skills we learned in the pool. I recommend staying at the Hoover Dam Lodge and Casino as it's only 20 minutes away (depending on your speed on the dirt road). Doug and Julie didn't stop showing their caring nature when the certifications were signed. They invited all of us to the local dive group, which I look forward to participating in as my diving career takes off. I would recommend Doug and Julie to anyone looking for a PADI cert in Vegas, especially if you're located in the northwest. You won't regret it!

I had a very great time getting my open water certification with Phil! I booked a trip to Hawaii…read moreand decided to learn how to SCUBA dive knowing there would be some good diving in Oahu. Phil was very knowledgeable and recommended multiple dives to do and I can do them all thanks to Phil's great teaching!!! He always explained things clearly and I never once felt uneasy throughout the entire course. Communication is great, he is always quick to reply to any text messages. The price Phil charges for instruction and rental gear is more than reasonable (actually quite a bit cheaper than I was expecting)! Just do the required prep work (complete the book before class like he says) so you're knowledgeable and everything will go very smooth! Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend anyone in Vegas to get their PADI certifications with SCUBA PHIL! 5/5

PHIL IS A HORRIBLE instructor! I've had four dive instructors in my lifetime. I've never been…read moretreated this way. Phil is a very disrespectful person, he'll take your money, and he doesn't even care. Diving is an amazing experience, especially for first timers learning this sport. Care and consideration needs to be applied considering these are LIFE SAVING LESSONS! Phil does not provide that at all!! It took my boyfriend an entire year to complete this certification (mine took a week in Wisconsin with way better dive instructors). Phil always had an excuse to cancel on us when we already had set plans with him. We both missed out on work and other plans to dedicate time to meet with Phil and he would cancel over and over again or just not respond to texts and calls after he already had our money for the class. He talked down to my boyfriend in front of the entire class belittling him because he did not understand the skill the very first time doing it (DUE TO POOR INSTRUCTION). He did not instruct the divers at the lake either. Making everyone feel nervous and on edge. What kind of instructor does that? I'm so disappointed in this because I absolutely love diving. It's an amazing feeling the first time you dive, and my boyfriend did not get that experience. Please, if you want a SAFE fun diving experience, look elsewhere. Phil should absolutely NOT be instructing.

We went to pick up the paddle board and she and her husband Christian were SUPER helpful and kind! Kathy gave us a quick lesson on the board and some tips about where to go at Willow Beach and Christian gave us a quick lesson on tying down the boards! They are AWESOME people and we were so excited to start our adventure! We went out to Willow Beach and had an AMAZING time! It was fantastic. I would tell ANYONE Vegas local or tourist to go see Kathy and Christian, as they are very knowledgeable about SUP and EVERYTHING that goes along with it. It is so much better to get the SUP from them, as you have the freedom to go wherever you want. Don't worry about how to use the board (if you're a beginner), OR tying the boards to you vehicle, as they have you completely covered. We were not afraid on the boards, nor were we afraid to put the boards back on he car after our adventure. (We were 2 ladies who went out and did this by ourselves!) SO FUN! If you want a super fun and amazing adventure you will not be disappointed with SUPLV! We will definitely be back! Thanks Kathy and Christian!!
