About this site
Aurora Reservoir is a lake dive in Colorado where a permit is required, which keeps the casual crowd away. To dive it you have to register with the City of Aurora and show proof of certification, and it is worth allowing a few days to get the permit sorted before the first visit.
Visibility is often 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 metres), noticeably better than at nearby Chatfield Reservoir on most days. The main basin reaches around 30 feet (9 metres) over a flat sandy bottom with not much in the way of features, which makes it good for practising skills. The water is cold.
