Calgary & Region:

There are several dive sites in the Calgary region.  Many of these consist of community lakes, and are good for training but little else.  A few more interesting SCUBA sties also exist.

Community Lakes:

The following communities have lakes in which you can dive - note that many of these communities require you to be a member of their community associations to use their lakes:

• Coral Springs Lakes: Located in north-west Calgary, this lake is home to a small divers playground.

• Sundance, Lake Chaparral, others.  Located in south west Calgary are several communities with small lakes.  these lakes are commonly used sites for dive training.

Bow River:

Most of the bow river is too fast an too shallow to dive.  However, near the zoo is a place known as the "hole".  This is a deep spot in the river when, at times of the year, it is safe to dive.

Forget-Me-Not Ponds:

Located at the end of highway 66, near Bragg Creek, Forget-Me-Not ponds is a popular BBQ/night dive spot.  The water is spring fed - meaning it is nearly freezing, but clear as crystal.  No a lot to see (beavers if your lucky), but there isn't anything more relaxing then lying on the bottom of the pond, and staring at the stars.

Bears Paw Dam:

The damming of the bow river has created a decent dive site near the damn.  once again not a lot to se, but there are a few places near the roads where you can look for goodies.
