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

Offered at $910,000 exclusively by The Resolute Group, Inc.- an Alabama licensed real estate broker.

I've heard of Dive Land, I think they had an article in Dive Training about it not too long ago. Might have to check it out :D
 
Dive Land Sounds Right, The Sign At The Entrance Was Unreadable. Im Orignally From That Area , All My Life We Just Called It The Blue Hole. And You Are Correct It Is For Sale For Pretty Chunk $$$$$$....i Think He's Asking Alot Considering The Facilities.....i Heard A Chemical Company Was Interested So If Your Going To Dive It Better Make It Soon. Admission Was $20.00 Not Bad Considering Its Alot Larger Than Vortex And Deeper (withOUT The Cave). The Down Side Is That It Is So Far North From Where I Live......
 
ok SBM I'm here now, when are we going diving? Better break into the cold water by just jumping in. I need a new wetsuit mine is so compressed from this summer (flex, grrrr)
 
Maybe first weekend of Oct? Find me some hiking too and I'll be more easily talked into it! :D

Darcy has been on ScubaBoard for awhile, she just doesn't post much anymore. She's been spending too much time getting paid to dive :mooner: She's stuck in North AL now though.

If you get a chance to dive with her, ask her to show you how to hunt fish. You need all the help you can get.
