About this site
Lake Tenkiller is a reservoir in Oklahoma that is one of the state's most popular dive lakes. In the 1950s it was just a river. Once it was dammed and flooded, it became a getaway for scuba diving and the outdoors.
The dive area holds sunken boats, an airplane and a huge helicopter. The bottom is mainly sandstone, so it does not stir up easily. Shore dives are good, and so are remote boat dives. Depth can exceed 150 feet (46 metres).
The lake can be moody. Summer surface temperatures reach the high 80s°F (about 30°C), but the best diving is usually below the thermocline, where summer temperatures are in the 70s°F (about 21 to 26°C).
