At the site of a former graphite mine, the Quarry Lake at Reveille Peak Ranch is one of the clearest lakes in Texas. With an average visibility of 20 to 30 feet, the lake’s granite walls and bottom still contain graphite that “sparkles” when illuminated with dive lights. The deepest spot found (to date) in the lake is around 100 feet.
SCUBA diving at the lake is open to dive professionals and dive stores for classes and activities. All diving is organized and escorted by dive professionals and is not currently available to the general public. Plan a diving and camping event/social for your club or shop.
In late summer, the water temperature is about 80 degrees at the top and thermocline at about 15 ft. The temperature drops into the 60s quickly and is in the 50s near the bottom of the lake, so 5mm or 7mm wetsuits are recommended.
Stairs and shallow platforms make it easy to enter the water. A deck are available for any group to use.
