SNORKELING and SCUBA DIVING in Utah

to contact us: info@seabase.net or call 435-884-3874

Bonneville Seabase is your in-land location for Utah diving and snorkeling. This geothermally heated, salt water, high altitude mini ocean with colorful marine tropical fish is the only one of its kind for SCUBA, snorkeling, and dive training. Whether you are feeding the beautiful French angel fish or observing the docile nurse sharks, you'll never believe you are in the middle of Utah.

Only $15 for snorkeling or SCUBA, and just $5 for hanging around, watching the fish get fed, or-if you want, dangling your toes in the water for a fishy pedicure.

Seabase Hours: by appointment

Thursdays & Fridays, 9 AM to 3 PM

Saturdays & Sundays, 8 AM to 3:30 PM

We feed the fish at opening time, so try to come early and see the feeding-it is fun! let us know you are coming out. The "Feeding fee" is included in the $15 day pass, if you are here at opening time, ( and it is only $5.00 per person-if you don't want to get in the water).

All minors (under 18 years of age) MUST either bring their parents or a waiver signed (by parents) Waiver is printable, from the bottom left of this page

Dive in Utah-all year,

with tropical marine fish

Summer is finally here, and with a vengeance, so, figure on just using a lightweight wetsuit-or just your swimsuit! Then, go look for our newest fish!.

In Habitat Bay we have two new kids-"the boys", named Steve and Irwin! There are ready at feeding time in the morning, so be here then to see them get excited enough about breakfast of squid to almost jump out of the water! These Southern sting rays are friendly, and...I knew you were going to ask..-you can not pet them, please.

In the Abyss, you can find a friendly clownfish, a few silver jennies, a tang, one tiny yellow cowfish, a small baby bamboo shark and four assorted butterfly fish, and a bright orange Big eye soldierfish. Some are very small, as most new fish to Seabase are, so they will require a bit of searching to find. The "vis" in White Rocks and Habitat Bay is only about 4 to 5 feet now, and the strong winds and rain aren't helping..

Habitat bay has the "ship" wreck and platforms and the big jacks,which swim around the platforms, that put on quite a show in the morning when we feed them. The fish hang close to the warmer water by the inflows on the bottom, especially the little juvenile porkfish. The two nurse sharks usually can be found in the middle or East side of White Rocks Bay, with a lot of brightly colored young pork fish and some monos swimming around them.

The Abyss has been a bit less clear than usual-but still at least 8 feet, and looks like it is starting to improve! And...because it is so deep and not very wide, it is much warmer.
