Making Reservations
Qualified scuba instructors and certified divers can make a reservation to dive by calling (800) 583-3781 whenever Lake Rawlings is not open. The gate key will be available most weekdays and weekends to dive shops, scuba instructors, and selected certified divers. Divers must leave their c-card and a $10.00 deposit with the caretaker until the gate key is returned.
Generally speaking, the Dive Shack at Lake Rawlings closes at 6:00 p.m. The exception is Friday night; tanks will be filled until 10:00 p.m. on Friday.
The scuba park is busy on weekends during the peak season. If you wish to avoid the large crowds, we recommend that you visit during the week and on holidays.
If you called Lake Rawlings to make a reservation and got no answer, please try again! We do receive many calls daily and some may go unanswered for any number of reasons. Please speak slowly, leave your name, telephone number and a brief message, and someone will get back to you. Remember, simply leaving a message is not a confirmed reservation. We apologize for any inconvenience, may every dive you make be glorious, and we thank you in advance for contacting Lake Rawlings.
