Springs is an 8.5 acre spring fed stone quarry, located
in Southern Illinois. The quarry has 100 foot walls and
wooded hills encompassing nearly half of its perimeter.
The sheer walls are not only on the top but can be followed
to depths of 120 ft. This quarry is devoted to diving
and dive training. We have an array of items of interest
for all divers. Whether it is our training platforms,
easy entry docks, 15 - 120 ft. dives, or our many sunken
treasures such as the Boeing 727 airplane used in the
movie "U.S. Marshals", you are sure to find
something of interest. Snorkeling, kayaking and on site
camping for divers and their guests will round out your
perfect weekend at Mermet Springs. |
