The Tenkiller Scuba Park is the main attraction for scuba divers at Tenkiller State Park. Featuring a multitude of sunken vessels, artifacts, monuments, treasures, trinkets, and lots of fish. The dive park is one of the best dive sites found in Lake Tenkiller. From boats, a bus, a plane, and even a United States Coast Guard helicopter; divers can explore and even swim through the attractions providing a diving experience similar to wreck diving. Established in 2005, Tim Knight, of Nautical Adventures Scuba, worked closely with the Army Corps of Engineers and Tenkiller State Park to provide an attraction for scuba divers to experience the joy of lake diving.

BLUFF VIEW
South of the Dive Park is an area accessible by the Bluff View picnic and camping areas. This location has been a popular training area for Open Water students from around the tri state area. Divers can follow the rocky slopes from one training platform to another before reaching spectacular bluffs near Crappie Point. The bluffs span an area larger than 50 feet across with overhangs as deep as 20 feet. See if you can find the infamous ”Buddy Phone” and don’t forget to ring the bell on your way out .
Located across the channel from Fisherman’s Point, Hickory Flats offers a dive experience much different from the other two locations. Here divers can find a gradual slope and patchy areas of white sand sprinkled amongst the rocky floor. The main attraction at Hickory Flats are the massive boulders that create small canyons, creating the perfect hiding places for flathead catfish. Tenkiller has something for everyone! HICKORY FLATS
Lake Tenkiller has been Oklahoma’s most popular scuba diving destination since the lake was established in 1954. The clear water and diversity of terrain attracts divers from not only Oklahoma, but the surrounding states and visitors from around the country. While most divers may discover its diversity during scuba certification courses, the attraction for certified divers includes wall dives, multiple islands, and the unknown allure of history! Lake Tenkiller offers three full-service scuba facilities that offer everything divers need to discover the depths and history, including rental equipment, certification courses, guided dives, and air fills. Tenkiller State Park is a popular destination featuring three locations to explore that offer simple shore entries.
