LOCAL TRIPS
South Holston Lake
We have well over 100 students who need to complete their Open Water Phase for several different levels of PADI certification. Here's our plan to help you be able to schedule your qualification dives.
Locally, we'll be diving South Holston Dam every Saturday morning, and every Wednesday morning that we have students preregistered. We'll schedule at least two (2) dives per trip. The diveshop opens at 9:00 AM and we want to be ready to leave for the lake no later than 9:30AM. The best option is to get your gear ready and take care of your course fees the day before our open water dives.

Philadelphia Quarry
In addition, we'll schedule two (2) weekdays per month and two (2) Saturdays per month to drive about 15 miles beyond the I-40/I-75 split in West Knoxville to dive Philadelphia Quarry (I-75 Exit 68). The quarry offers real bathroom and changing rooms, 70'-90' visibility, and is very reasonably priced at $12 per day. Each diver pays the $12 entry fee as we enter the dive site area. Diving during the weekdays generally gives us the quarry pretty much to ourselves, but of course most people don't have to take the day off to dive on Saturdays.
Each diver needs to bring a sandwich and something to drink for lunch. This makes a very nice day of diving within a reasonable distance (day-trip) of theTri-Cities area. For the Quarry Dives, meet at the diveshop by 7:00AM so we can be ready to leave by 7:30AM.
All you need to do is call or e-mail us for a reservation, pick-up your scuba gear, pay for your specific level of certification, and We're Ready to Rock !
CERTIFIED DIVERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME !
This is a great place to work on your Divemaster
