AdventureChallengingSpringSummerYear-roundWinter
Experience the world's only warm-water high-altitude scuba diving destination inside the Homestead Crater's geothermal pool.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book your scuba slot weeks in advance as the limited space inside the crater fills up quickly, especially on weekends.
- 2Bring a waterproof camera with a flash, as the natural light filtering through the dome is dim despite the clear water.
- 3Arrive 30 minutes early to complete waivers and navigate the equipment staging area located at the crater entrance.
- 4Plan for a 45-minute dive window, but allow at least two hours for the full check-in, suiting up, and mandatory safety briefing.
- 5Pack a light robe and flip-flops for the walk from the locker rooms to the crater tunnel to stay warm during the winter months.
- 6Park in the designated Homestead Resort visitor lot and follow the signs toward the large wooden dome behind the main buildings.
