SuPrBuGmAn:This quarry doesn't have a name?
It's name is actually "Dive Land" but everyone just calls it the Glencoe Quarry. I don't know why... I imagine that was the name for many years before there was a dive park there.
Here's Dive Lands web site http://www.headsouth.com/diveland/
If you've got the spare change lying around. It's for sale. They think they can get $910,000 for it.

FOR SALE ALABAMA DIVE QUARRY ON +/- 85ACRES
Diveland Park located approximately 7 miles South of Gadsden, AL and I-59 and 25 miles north of Anniston, AL and I-20 on US Highway 431. Site is located in the rapidly growing N.E. Alabama area, within easy driving distance of metropolitan Atlanta GA, Chattanooga TN, Birmingham, AL and Huntsville, AL.
It offers an 85 +/- acre site with 8 +/- water filled acres ranging in depths from shallow (10 feet or less) to deep (approx 140-150 feet deep). Water visibility is usually quite clear and runoff is minimal into the quarry to make for optimal dive conditions. There have been several site improvements made over the past years, including a dive shop/classroom/office building, changing rooms and steps/docks for entry/exit ease. The site is ideal for additional improvements and offers a truly unique setting and environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for continued/expanded use as a dive site/training center, or for mixed or other use redevelopment, including recreational or residential with plenty of acreage to expand. For qualified principals or brokers having serious interest, please contact us for additional site information, aerial photographs, promotional material, etc.
This opportunity is being offered as real estate and present site improvements only - no dive-related or other business interest is included.
The site remains open and operational for diving. Hours of operation may be found at http://www.headsouth.com/diveland
