The road towards Lake Annette meets highway #16 about 2 km East of the townsite of Jasper, cross the bridge and take the first right turn. Follow the road (and signs) up the hill and take the first turn to the left. The road in to the lake is a narrow one that winds in toward the shore. There are two areas to dive from: the paved parking area and a day use area. The first area you will come to is the paved parking area where there is a wood dock that is a good spot to suit up on.
This is a good novice level dive site, chosen by dive operators for open water certfication dives.
There is a very gradual slope from the dock, down to depths of 50 - 60 feet. The visibility is very good and the water is quite cool (no problem for Alberta divers!). The bottom is fairly weedy. The shallower areas are very rocky. Altitude is approximately 3500 feet.
Lots of suckers! Some trout. The occasional hiker: watch where you change...
The main lake is bowl shaped with cool fresh water coral along the edges. There are many weed beds at the bottom. Previous divers have built pyramids of rocks near the point to your left, standing on the dock, in about 35 feet of water. They serve well as habitat for the fish.
If you have any comments or suggestions (write a review for us!), send email to Andrew Fairservice or Fred Moody.
