June 16,2022 Scuba Diving Report by Scuba Steve from Blackburns Resort and Boat rental on Norfork Lake Arkansas near Mountain Home

The lake level is 571.89 and has dropped 2-1/3rd inches in the last 24-hours with both generators running for about 18-hours The surface water temperature is 84-degrees and rising in the hot weather. The thermocline is at about 20-feet and dropping. The water is very clear at the surface and the clarity diminishes as you get down to cold water and then clears again. Overall it is much better than previous years and you can see about as far as you can shoot and that is ideal for me. Too clear water is not good for spearfishing as is too dark. There are a lot of fish in the 20-ft. range and I expect a good season. Several divers were out on Norfork yesterday and harvested some nice walleye and crappie. I went out at about 4:PM after work and it was nice to be under water again. Conditions overall are good and Blackburns Has dive pontoons for you at reasonable prices and are closest to the best full service dive shop in the area. Scuba Doo.
