mike_s:Mermet Springs has a 727, not a 747. HUGE Difference.
(The 727 was sunk for the movie US Marshalls if I'm not mistaken.) . . . .

The only other sunken large jets for dive spots are a 727 off the coast of Miami, a 737 sunk off British Columbia, and Portage Quarry (in Ohio I think) just sunk a small private type jet. Madison Quarry has a F4 fighter in it and there are several fighter planes sunk off the coastlines that are diveable. Several other places like you said have smaller cessna type planes.
tstormwarning:OK, OK. I'll admit, Nobody's perfect. I don't know one type of jet from another:blinking: . I knew it was a jet plane, I just got the model #'s mixed up. Sorry about that. My bad.
theskull:The 727 was not sunk FOR the movie US Marshalls, but it IS the fuselage that was used as a prop in the making of the movie. Mermet bought the prop after the filming was over, trucked it cross-country to the quarry, and sunk it for the pleasure of the local divers.
Shepman:I talked with Dave from Cerulean at that 270 350 1156 (Cell) number. They are open for business, but in hiatus for the winter. He'd open it if any hard core Scuba Boarders wanted to do a winter dive, but his main season is April thru October.
Hey, that Mermet Springs place looks like a blast and is actually closer to where I stay.
Any good reports from Mermet?
