About the Lake:
Located just across the state line in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, Bull Shoals is a great place to dive. The water is clear and can range from 90-60 degrees at depth. If you're lucky, you might spy one of the rare blue catfish.

Scuba divers come to Bull Shoals from across the country to enjoy the clear blue water. This is a Corps of Engineers lake downriver from Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo in Missouri.

Dive sites from 20'-85' include a variety of sunken boats, including a destroyer escort, and a troop transport, a bus, the "Iowa Farm" with a combine and tractor, and many other smaller boats and equipment. Wall dives can be made along one side of the lake. There are also several swim throughs from 30' to 80'.

Rules:
• No pets allowed on houseboats.
