Submerge into Hudson Grotto: A Dive into Underwater Mysteries

Owned by SCUBA West operator Paul Heinerth, Hudson Grotto offers a unique diving experience. Frequently utilized for classes, the grotto’s visibility varies due to algae bloom and tannic water. Dive into the depths for around $20, exploring the bottom that flattens at 100 – 110 feet. Navigate through the mid-water thermoclines, experiencing cooler temperatures during the summer. Discover hidden treasures like two boats and an old VW van beneath the 100-foot platform, making Hudson Grotto a dive worth trying. Note that the dive shop has relocated across the street from the grotto.

Diving Logistics: Tips for a Seamless Underwater Adventure

To ensure environmental conservation, divers are requested to park at the shop lot across the street instead of at the grotto. Utilize carts provided to transport gear across the street. The cost, ranging between $10-15, may fluctuate with visibility conditions. Brace yourself for tannic waters between 30 and 90 feet, while the deepest spot, a small open pit against the wall, reaches approximately 155 feet – an alluring challenge for seasoned divers. Explore Hudson Grotto’s unique underwater landscape while keeping these practical tips in mind for an unforgettable diving experience.
